«Photomontage» is Dawn Ades's art history essay, published by Pantheon Books in hardcover (112 pages, in English).
It analyzes how manipulated photography went from being a weapon of political agitation in Berlin Dadaism (Heartfield, Höch, Hausmann, Grosz) to a Surrealist artistic technique, with artists such as Ernst, Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray, who created dreamlike images to express the chaos of the individual and the world. Includes 174 black-and-white illustrations.
Originally published in 1976 as part of the World of Art series; first American edition.
For readers interested in art history, photography and twentieth-century avant-gardes, particularly Berlin Dadaism and Surrealism.
Josephine Dawn Ades,, known as Dawn Ades, is a British art historian and academic. She is professor emeritus of art history and theory at the University of Essex.
