Profusely illustrated with full page color and in-text b/w reproductions of Höch's extraordinary work throughout. "The complex interplay between public and private that typifies Höch's work in photomontage stands in utter defiance of our historically conditioned expectations. Given her roots in the most socially active wing of the international Dada movement and her near-exclusive use of illustrated periodicals for the source imagery of her pieces there is an expectation that Höch's photomontages be "public"–that is deal with public issues and public perceptions. Höch's work tells us–by omission as much as inclusion–what it was like to be a woman and an artist during the time in which she lived." Boswell.
