Hannah Höch is a political artist focused mainly on collage and photomontages, which she had helped to pioneer, from the early 1900’s. She would take images from media such as magazines or advertisements and take them apart and assemble in order to create an image which usually held a message which criticized society or popular culture of the time. Some of her most popular topics to focus on were gender, identity and some relevant political events such as the fall of the Weimar Republic. The image below is called “Indian Dancer” from Höch’s “Ethnographic Museum” 1930. In this we can see a famous actress of the time called Renée Falconetti. Höch has replaced half of her face with a traditional dance mask from Cameroon and has given her what looks to be a crown of cutlery. This series was used in order to comment on the complexity of womens typical roles in society and what was seen as the ideal view of femininity. Her work has been used in countless ways to fight against the normality of what society expects and has helped us to rebel against what is typically expected of us.
