A photomontage is the result of combining two or more pictures together in order to make a new image. This can be done through cutting, pasting, ripping, rearranging and overlapping. Photomontage are usually used to convey a message, whether that be a commentary on political, social, or other issues. The credit for photomontages is given to Dada artists in 1916 but it emerged in the mid 1850s due to artist trying to make photography fit into fine art.
