Photomontage by Dawn Ades
A concise, richly illustrated history and critical analysis of photomontage, tracing its emergence from early twentieth-century avant-garde movements like Dada and Constructivism through Surrealism, political propaganda, advertising, and contemporary practice. It explores the techniques and visual strategies used to splice and juxtapose images, examines the cultural and ideological contexts that shaped the medium, and highlights key figures such as John Heartfield and Hannah Höch. The study shows how photomontage challenged notions of photographic truth and transformed modern visual communication.
