Hannah Höch

Hannah Höch was a German Dadaist artist who was born in 1889. She died at the age of 88 in 1978. Her art contained feminist themes and dissections of the concept of "the new woman." She worked in photomontage and collage. 

Other specific themes in her work include androgyny and gender roles, and politics as well. She was in Germany during the Third Reich and had to keep a low profile as her art was labelled as degenerate by the Nazi's, who of course had a famous dislike of new art and instead favored traditional European fine arts. 

As I mentioned before, she was a Dada artist; this is an art form that arose after the first world war and came to be because the artists of the time believed that a society that could create such a horrible tragedy as WWI had little to no value. Dada can also be described as anti-art. This art questioned authority and government and was obviously against war, so of course they were not fond of the Nazi party.
