Between 1912 and 1920, she studied art at the Kunstgewerbeschule Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg School of Applied Arts) and the Unterrichtsanstalt des k\u00f6niglichen Kunstgewerbemuseums (School of the Royal Museum of Applied Arts) in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>The Dada movement flourished between 1916 and 1922 in Zurich, New York, Cologne, Hanover, Berlin, and Paris and as members of the Berlin Dada, Hannah H\u00f6ch developed her art of photomontage (photographic images collaged onto paper) as a tool of artistic commentary on the Western society.<\/p>\n<p>In 1926 H\u00f6ch entered into a relationship with the Dutch writer and linguist Til Brugman (ca 1888-1958). They remained together for nine years, living in The Hague from 1926 to 1929, then in Berlin. The two women collaborated on some projects, including a book, Scheingehacktes (1935), for which Hannah made the images and Til the text.<\/p>\n<p>When the Hitler regime seized power. Hannah H\u00f6ch was defamed as a \u201cCultural Bolshevist\u201d in 1934 and prohibited from exhibiting her work. In 1935 she separated from Till Burgmann. During the 1940s and 1950s, Hannah H\u00f6ch explored non-objective abstraction. Between 1963 and 1973, she returned to images of women as her central theme. However, Nature was a lifelong love and inspiration to her. Her\u00a0garden house\u00a0in Heiligensee near Berlin, where she lived for 40 years,\u00a0is now protected\u00a0by the German Stiftung Denkmalschutz as a cultural heritage home.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the men in Hannah H\u00f6ch&#8217;s life and her involvement with the women&#8217;s movement in the 1920s at Wikipedia: <a title=\"Hannah H\u00f6ch bio\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hannah_H%C3%B6ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hannah H\u00f6ch<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Selected Books<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the latest monographs and exhibition catalogues about Hannah H\u00f6ch&#8217;s works are:<\/p>\n<p>Schrankenlose Freiheit f\u00fcr Hannah H\u00f6ch<br \/>\nby Cara Schweitzer<br \/>\nPublisher: Osburg Verlag (May 2011)<br \/>\nLanguage: German<br \/>\nISBN-10: 3940731641<br \/>\nISBN-13: 978-3940731647 <\/p>\n<p>Hannah Hoch: Picture Book<br \/>\nby Hannah Hoch and Gunda Luyken<br \/>\nPublisher: The Green Box Kunstedition (15 Aug 2010)<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nISBN-10: 3941644130<br \/>\nISBN-13: 978-3941644137 <\/p>\n<p>Hannah H\u00f6ch: Aller Anfang ist DADA!<br \/>\nMuseum Jean Tinguely Basel; Hannah Hoch; Berlinische Galerie; Ralf Burmeister<br \/>\nPublisher: Hatje Cantz Verlag (April 2007)<br \/>\nISBN-10: 3775719199<br \/>\nISBN-13: 978-3775719193<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Hoch: Album<br \/>\nby Gunda Luyken<br \/>\nPublisher: Hatje Cantz; Bilingual edition (1 Jun 2004)<br \/>\nLanguage: German<br \/>\nISBN-10: 3775714278<br \/>\nISBN-13: 978-3775714273 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video (7:32): Slideshow with works by Hanna H\u00f6ch.
