One of the most important artistic figures of the Weimar Republic, Hannah Hoch is primarily known as a pioneer in photomontage, for her influence on the development of 20th-century collage, and for her involvement with the Dada movement. This work is the catalogue to a major exhibition organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and celebrates the first comprehensive survey of her work by an American museum. It presents a complete retrospective of Hoch's photomontages, with over 100 colour plates, three essays and an illustrated chronology. The text discusses Hoch's critique of mass media's treatment of gender roles, attitudes towards race, the social impact of technology and the rise of fascism, and celebrates her relationship to this century's major art movements, such as Surrealism and Pop Art.
