Hannah Hoch and the early pioneers of photo collage/montage

Hannah Hoch (1889 – 1978) was a German Dada artist. She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, in which she was one of the originators of photo-montage (a type of collage in which the pasted items are actual photographs, or photographic reproductions pulled from the press and other widely produced media).  Key themes in Hoch’s work include androgyny, political discourse, and shifting gender roles. These themes all interacted to create a feminist discourse surrounding Hoch’s work. Hoch constantly promoted the idea of women working creatively more generally in society.
