The document provides an introduction to photomontage and persona assignments for a graphic design course. It discusses the history and uses of photomontage, including by Dadaists and Surrealists. Examples are provided of early pioneers like Rodchenko, Höch, and Hausmann who used photomontage for politically and socially engaged imagery. Later artists discussed include Peter Kennard and Mickalene Thomas. The assignment tasks students with creating a photomontage persona by selecting and arranging images that represent a chosen personality's interests, mood, and traits.

Straight photography emerged in the early twentieth century and was a way of thinking about
photography as independent and unique from other artistic media like painting. It attempted to capture a
scene as objectively as possible therefore it didn't rely on methods of photographic manipulation. One of
the first photographers to experiment with straight photography was Alfred Stieglitz in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. He would often employ straight photography to depict everyday scenes of
modern life as seen in his photograph The Terminal.

2. INTRODUCTION TO
PHOTOMONTAGE
Collage is the art of reinvention a magical and tactile
process that invites you to collect, experiment, combine
and transform
A photomontage is a montage constructed from
photographic images.
Photomontage is often used as a means of expressing
political dissent.
Photomontage was first used as a technique by the
dadaists in 1915 in their protests against the First World
War. It was later adopted by the surrealists who
exploited the possibilities photomontage offered by
using free association to bring together widely disparate
images, to reflect the workings of the unconscious mind.
3. Aleksander
Rodchenko
In 1923 the Russian constructivist
Aleksander Rodchenko began experimenting
with photomontage as a way of creating
striking socially engaged imagery concerned
with the placement and movement of objects
in space.

5. Hannah
Höch
Hannah Höch
Höch’s most famous work, effortlessly titled ‘Cut with the
Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly
Cultural Epoch in Germany’, shows her ideals and
techniques in synthesis. A collage of newspaper
clippings, the work challenges the racist and sexist codes
upholding Weimar Germany. Throughout her career, Höch
would challenge the marginalised place of women in
twentieth century Germany. She drew together fashion
magazines, illustrated journals and photography to
pioneer a form bent on demonstrating that art itself could
be collected from the everyday clutter of modern life.

Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany

Hausmann
Raoul Hausmann was an Austrian artist and
writer. One of the key figures in Berlin Dada,
his experimental photographic collages,
sound poetry, and institutional critiques
would have a profound influence on the
European Avant-Garde in the aftermath of
World War I

explored issues such as economic inequality,
police brutality and the nuclear arms race
between the 1970s and the 1990s.
