Hannah Höch was born in 1889 in Germany. She studied art in Berlin and worked as a pattern designer and writer on women's handicrafts from 1916-1926. In 1915 she began a friendship with Raoul Hausmann who was a member of Berlin Dada movement. Then they became more than friends and with their relationship going by they worked together. She is the founder of photomontage.Her most famous piece is Schnitt mit dem Küchenmesser DADA durch die letzte weimarer Bierbauchkulturepoche Deutschlands ("Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany"), a critique of Weimar Germany in 1919. This piece combines images from newspapers of the time re-created to make a new statement about life and art in the Dada movement. Höch herself expressed herself less politically than many of the others in the group. From 1926-1929 she lived and worked in Holland. She lived for some years in a lesbian relationship with Dutch poet Til Brugman. She died in Berlin at age 88.
