Description

Hannah Höch (1889-1972) was a central figure in the Berlin Dada circle, friend to Kurt Schwitters and Piet Mondrian. Important female artist from the German modernist period, known for her pioneering works of photomontage, which briskly juxtapose mechanical and organic forms, ancient and contemporary bodies, symbols and text drawn from brands and headlines.

Complete with dreamy collage images and short, lovely poems, this book is absolutely fantastic,
