The Photomontages of Hannah Höch

Hannah Hoch was perhaps the harshest Dadaist, creating menacing photomontages of industrial society gone wrong. Her works, like the rest of the group, collaged many disparate images together, departing wildly form reality, in order to shock the viewer into a closer relation with reality itself. She was a tremendous influence on later Surrealist and Feminist artists. This fine monograph--the only one available--accompanies the Walker Art Center's retrospective, and presents a wide range of this vital artist's work.
