For some -not in the know- Hannah Höch was the “iconic It girl of the Berlin dadaists”. For the lovers of the letterforms Höch, a member of Berlin’s Dada movement in the 1920s known for her political photomontages, was the female driving force in the development of 20th century collage.
“Made from newspaper clippings and found objects, her work often engaged with the early 20th-century ideal of the “New Woman”—one who challenged the traditional domestic role of females.
The artist is most commonly associated with her photomontage Cut with the Kitchen Knife through a Beer-Belly of the Weimar Republic (1919-1920), which critiqued the male-dominated political apparatus, a system the artist believed resulted in the failure of the Weimar Republic and the increasing militarization in post-World War I Germany” notes Artnet on the original punk of a movement which revolutionized typography, graphic design and the visual arts fiercely.
