Höch is known for her incisively political collage and photomontage works. She’s a Dada artist, who which appropriated and rearranged images and text from the mass media to critique the failings of the Weimar German Government. Höch drew inspiration from the collage work of ‘Picasso and fellow Dada exponent ‘Kurt Schwitters’, her own compositions share with those artists a similarly dynamic and layered style. Höch preferred metaphoric imagery to the more direct, text based confrontational approach of her contemporary ‘John Heart-field’, whose work she found ‘tendentious.’ >>>Examples of Hannah Höch pieces of art.>>>

Photomontage, is a type of collage in which the pasted items are actual photographs, or photographic reproductions pulled from the press and other widely produced media.[1] Höch’s work existed to dismantle the fable and dichotomy that existed in the concept of the “New Woman”: an energetic, professional and androgynous woman, who is ready to take their place as man’s equal. Her interest in the topic was how the dichotomy was structured, as well as who structures social roles.

I think Höch’s pieces are enthralling and oddly aesthetically pleasing with the use of faces in her pieces. I believe they work well together, she has her own stylistic approach and works well independently as well as taking inspiration from other artists and movements. The use of colour is very effective with in her work it makes the pieces stand out immensely to the viewers. I have collaborated her into my work as I think she is a big inspiration into my work, which I could participate with. Her artwork is extremely strange and unusual but enormously fascinating the way her work just looks so confusing, as the collages are so muddled up with in each other. It just makes me more intrigued.
