I must admit that Dada and Photomontages are not my favorite form of art, but I must say, Hoch does do a very good job at drawing my attention to her work; I do find most of her pieces quite interesting, and especially considering how she has contributed to the realm of Dada and the impression she has made on so many people, I think she would have been happy of what she has accomplished.
I think what I enjoy most about Hoch’s work is the fact that she can bring so many different textures into one image. I often do not enjoy so much going on at once (considering Dada and Photomontage), but in hindsight, I think it may come to grow on me. I like how these art forms almost force one to focus on different parts of a piece separately and then seeing how each of those parts fit in to form one piece of work. Often much of a piece’s meaning can be easily looked over when everything flows harmoniously. Many people can take inspiration from Hoch’s work in the fact that the femininity of her work highlights much of the power, beauty, and grace of the female body and soul; a practice that can often prove wrongly executed within the world of art.
The piece that I posted is a modern photomontage, created by Sean Hillen. I like the piece a lot because I like how it represents the history of human beings, in a timeline form, though human feats of architecture. At the bottom lay ancient stone ruins, leading upwards toward the bustling industrialism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and then finally toward the top at which lies shimmering towers of glass.

I love the example of photomontage that you posted. It seems to have a much more technical craftsmanship than some of the others we have seen. I love how well he can blend the historical timeline into one image, as well as the colorful spots of light near the buildings. It demonstrates a lot of different components of history in a really uniform, fluid piece.
ReplyDeleteI was not a big fan of Hoch's style when I first looked through her work. However, I love the image you selected of the modern photomontage. I think it is partially due to technological advances that this form of art can be taken to greater lengths.
