This a blog post about some Hannah Höch inspired pieces of photomontage artwork, The Indian Dancer, The Tamer and The Lustige Person. Our lesson objective was to find out what processes were involved in making a Hannah Höch type image, except, digitally.
I created 3 pieces of photomontage, all inspired by different Hannah Höch images. I first recreated the 'Indian Dancer' piece, then the 'Lustige Person' and lastly, the 'Tamer'.
Here are my recreations:

In the recreation of the Tamer, I really like the the bottom left hand corner of the piece. In the original image, there is a head of a seal also in the bottom left hand corner with human eyes. I changed this slightly, so instead I placed a the head of a tiger in the corner and put the same eye on each side, except I flipped it so it would look slightly different. I am really happy with how it turned out.
In my second recreation with the Indian Dancer my favourite part of the image would probably be the way the cartoon face lips kind of match up with the real face. This was on accident, I didn't even realise it fit in like this but it turned out working really cool.
In my last recreation, my favourite part was the person's feet. In the original image, the woman's feet are a lot bigger in comparison to what feet normally look like. I like this because it makes the image seem kind of awkward which was interesting.
I liked making photomontages as I explored a new way of creating artwork which was a lot of fun. I learned that you can create art all sorts of ways, and that art doesn't have to be perfect. It can be awkward and have pieces which don't fit in properly, but it can still be art.
What do you think?
What could I work on for next time?
Thanks for reading!
