WHAT IS PHOTOMONTAGE?

A photomontage is a collage constructed from photographs. Historically, the technique has been used to make political statements and gained popularity in the early 20th century (World War 1-World War 2).

Artists such as Raoul Haussman, Hannah Hoch, John Heartfield employed cut-n-paste techniques as a form of propaganda…as did Soviet artists like Aleksander Rodchenko and El Lissitsky. Photomontage has its roots in Dadaism…which is closely related to Surrrealism.
