Hannah Hoch was a German artist, who lived 1889 to 1978. She was best known as one of the originators of photomontage. Her main themes were same sex couples 1926-35 and women 1963-73. A point that is raised among the majority of her work is that she uses photomontage to point out the faults in beauty culture. She contributed to the feminist Dada movement, being renowned for being able to provide food and water despite a shortage of money.
You can see from the images that she uses a dull colour that is similar to that of old newspapers. This colour appears as a wash across the image. An old feeling is given to the montage as it has the aged quality to it. The second image has empty space around the edges, this gives a feeling of 3D to the image as though the montage stands on top of another layer.
