Hannah Höch
Germany (1889—1978)After studying at the Berlin School of Applied Arts, Höch began working as a designer for a publishing company. In 1915 she met Raoul Hausmann, who introduced her to Dada and helped her become one of the most prominent members of the Berlin Dada group. During these early years, she found her artistic language in photomontage, and in 1919 she created Cut with the Kitchen Knife Dada through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch of Germany. During the 1920s, she travelled throughout Europe and became acquainted with Mondrian, Tzara and Moholy-Nagy. She lived in the Netherlands with Til Brugman for a decade before returning to Germany, where she remained until her death in 1978, continuing to address politically and socially charged themes through her paintings and photomontages.
