Following Ellana's lead, I thought I would talk about an artist. In my photography class we took a bunch of notes on the photomontage and history of it. The two people we talked a lot about were John Heartfield and Hannah Hoch. Both Germans, both in the Dada movement. Above are the photos of John Heartfield. Kind of gruesome but I find them really interesting. As you can see he was protesting the Nazis and Hitler. By the way, I found it very hard to find images online. Same with Hannah Hoch... How weird.
You should also check out Hannah Hoch's photos. Like I said, it's difficult to find online. I really like "The Argument" and "The Flight." Interesting enough, they are both about the abusive relationship she had with fellow Dadaist Raoul Hausmann. Below is one of her later works that I like as well, "Grotesque."
