Hannah Hoch
was a German Dada artist
Dadaists
set out to turn our world upside down, to make it seem
crazy and absurd.
They meant for us to rethink the items that surround us so that we might
think differently about our world.
For her pieces, Hannah used images from magazines, newspapers and other printed media, that way creating a
collage
which had been introduced by the Cubists.
She also used
photomontage
which is the process of making an image by cutting, gluing, rearranging and overlapping two or more photographs into a
new image.
Watched, 1925, collage on paper, 25.7 x 17.1cm
