Like her circle, Höch rejected traditional ideas of “fine art,” choosing instead to create new forms of expression more reflective of the fast-moving and highly mechanized world around her. She played a central role in the lively intellectual and artistic avant garde of post-World War I Berlin, which included such luminaries as George Grosz, Raoul Hausmann, John Heartfield, and Kurt Schwitters.
The exhibition of 31 collages afforded American audiences a rare opportunity to see the artist’s work.
