The Photomontages of Hannah Hoch

Hannah Hoch; Carolyn Lanchner

Synopsis:
Hannah Hoch, one of the most important artistic figures of the Weimar Republic, is known primarily as a pioneer in photomantage, for her immense influence in the development of twentieth-century collage, and for her involvement with the Dada movement. This beautifully designed catalogue celebrates the first comprehensive survey of her work by an American museum and presents a complete retrospective of Hoch's work in photomontage. With over 100 color plates, three in-depth essays, and an illustrated chronology, it documents Hoch's relationship to this century's major art movements -- such as Surrealism and Pop Art -- and discusses her critique of mass media's treatment of gender roles, attitudes toward race, the social impact of technology, and the rise of fascism.
