Hannah Hoch(DADA)

She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, when she was one of the originators of photomontage. Photomontage, or, fotomontage, 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.

Hannah Höch was an important member of the Berlin Dada movement and a pioneer in collage. Splicing together images taken from popular magazines, illustrated journals and fashion publications, she created a humorous and moving commentary on society during a time of tremendous social change. Acerbic, astute and funny, Höch established collage as a key medium for satire whilst being a master of its poetic beauty.

Höch created some of the most radical works of the time and was admired by contemporaries such as George Grosz, Theo van Doesburg and Kurt Schwitters, yet she was often overlooked by traditional art history. At a time when her work has never seemed more relevant, the exhibition puts this inspiring figure in the spotlight.

Höch explored the concept of the ‘New Woman’ in Weimar Germany, presenting complex discussions around gender and identity in a series of both biting and poignant collages. The exhibition includes a number of works from the series From an Ethnographic Museum, in which Höch combines images of female bodies with traditional masks and objects and layers of block colours, capturing the style of the 1920s avant-garde theatre and fashion.

DADA a brief summery

Started in Zurich (close to german)

*Herman hess, leman,  Hugo ball,  Emma hemming

Emma sung and danced and Hugo played piano.

*together they set up a club called Cabiret Voltaire promising the pub owner (who's back room the inhabited for their shows) a increase of beer and sausage that he supplied.

*They spoke about how many people cane on the fist day,saying that it was queuing out if the door.One of those people who cane in was a poet named Tristan vare (who was a known poet) Who then joined the crue.

*Poetry,  music, and dance were all part c of the shows as a standard at the club.

*They had to complete with other Cabiret places 

*they then began with shock tactics, thus bought more people,  who would after a while would become aggressive and excited)

*After a whike they realised that by trying to attack the boudoir them themselves were boudoir. 

*Hugo ball who was part of the Valtiare, wanted to find a name for one of the dances,to achieve this they put a knife in a book and picked the word it pointed at.The word the knife chose was Dada 

*Dada had multiple meanings at that tied into it 

A wet nurse 

A rocking horse,

The Russian word for.  'Yes he's

This helped the movement as it was just as sensical and had as my h connection with anything else sabotage word it's self.

*Hugo and olsebeck took the stage later in and read out a chant called the.' Negro can't

The dance that accompanied was choreographed by sophie. This dance was not understood by the audience and therefore was not well received.

*Language was key to the DADA move3ment 

*To Hugo this languages had been corrupted becasue of politics so Hugo wanted to make e sound, 

*from that he decided to become a sound poet,from then he began to work on one of his most popular sounds 'elephant caravan
