A
German Dadaist photomontage artist who created work inspired by feminism and
beauty, based on her job working for a women’s magazine in Berlin. She was
belittled by other Dadaist artists for being a woman, and described as her
contributions being the food and drink she provided the artists, despite being
a pioneer in the development of the movement. She would create art that
subverted womens’
status as second-class citizens, including making brides into mannequins and
creating androgynous characters.
Her
powerful photomontages and use of collage to incite social change were why I
chose to research this based on my current (loose) theme – german
expressionism and collage.
