Hannah Höch (German, 1889 - 1978)
Born in Gotha, Germany, Höch studied in Berlin where she later worked as a designer for a publishing firm from 1916 to 1926. She met the future Dada artist Raoul Hausmann in 1915 and through him, subsequently, became involved with the Berlin dada group. Although she made abstract paintings, Höch is best known for producing satirical and disturbing photomontages. These focus on the situation in Weimar Germany from a woman's perspective, combining political commentary, gender issues, questions of modernity and a critique of the bourgeoisie.
