Hannah Höch (1889–1978), in my opinion, was the most important Berlin Dada artist. She adopted a distinct feminist and queer stance in her art, and reacted to the time through satirical photomontages. She engaged with contemporary social and political issues and shone a light on the oppression of women. Her inventive (and brilliantly punchy) visual language spliced together images and text from journals, newspapers and fashion magazines, and gave a voice to those so often dismissed.
