Description
Hannah Höch was one of the greatest female artists in the 1920 dada movement. Her art is often a veiled critique of people or social issues. The Father, one of her many collages, is formed from various magazine cutouts. The head of the man is perched atop a set of female legs. The baby, held by the man, appears under attack from a male boxer who represents the stereotypical male. Like many of Hoch’s works she uses abstract cutouts to present gender androgyny.
