Hannah Hoch

Hannah Höch was a German Dada artist. She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, when she was one of the originators of photo montage. Photo montage, is a type of collage in which the pasted items are actual photographs, or photographic reproductions pulled from the press and other widely produced media. T

he key themes associated within her work are androgyny, political discourse and shifting gender roles.  These themes all interacted to create a feminist discourse surrounding Höch’s works, which encouraged the liberation and agency of women in Weimar Germany and today. I believe that the concept of Hoch’s work is an interesting way to portray the ideas of equality. The use of overlaying  helps to give a unique and eye catching appearance to her work.
