A central figure in the Berlin Dada circle, friend to Kurt
Schwitters and Piet Mondrian and lover of Raoul Hausmann, Hannah
Hoch (1889-1972) is probably the most important female artist from
the German modernist period. She is best known for her pioneering
works of photomontage, which briskly juxtapose mechanical and
organic forms, ancient and contemporary bodies, symbols and text
drawn from brands and headlines, also edging feminism, commodity
critique and other political concerns into the mix. "It is striking
how contemporary to us much of Hoch's work feels," Luc Sante wrote
recently, "in its sexual politics, its humor, its gleeful
appropriation of anything and everything at hand." In 1945, Hoch
made this fantastical full-color children's book, which chronicles
the adventures of the four mythical creatures Runfast, Dumblet,
Snifty and Meyer in an enchanted garden, combining photomontage
with the hallucinatory plant imagery she had come to favor. It is
published here for the first time.
