Hannah Höch (fan club)

Information

Hannah Höch (fan club)

Some mail artists add a stamp print to their mail art, saying 'Hannah Hoch Fan Club'.

Until I received these stamp prints I never had heard of this artist, who was born 1st of November 1889. She has been a collage / photomontage pioneer. She was part of the Dada movement and also became involved in the De Stijl art movement. 

For anyone who has a Hannah Höch Fan Club Stamp (and interested others, I haven't one), this group can be the place to share your thoughts and mail art, tributing to and/or inspired by Hannah Höch.

Hey Judi, I don't think that it is Hannahs face, because it is too long. She had a rather round face when you look at her from the front.Your collage photo reminds me of a sequence of the surrealistic film " the andalusian dog" by Luis Bunuel. there is a scene where an eye is clipped with a razor blade from nearby. Dali experimented with different possibilities to get surrealistic images. Thanks again for your collage card! Hugs Charlotte

What do you think? Is the figure in the center of this collage Hannah? I found the photo as part of an artical about Leonora Carrington.  In the texts artical Hannah was not mentioned. Given that both delt with gender issues and dada/surealistic art style, I kinda think it must be Hannah. ♡♤♡♢♧♡

Thanks for the encouragement regarding Time! And thanks, Jennifer, for that link. I like it a lot. I also watched an interesting lecture which discusses HH's Ethnographic series & her connection to images of the 'New Woman', gender issues, & the Ethnographic museum. Gave me a chance to see the images she encountered in their original contexts: 

Alexandra Foradas on "The Strange Beings from Hannah HÖch’s
Ethnographic Museum”

Dear Heleen, don't fret so. No-one is in a hurry (i hope - at least, I'm not) Things get done in their own time and, if not, well there is another November next year . . .

Dear Rosalie and Mary Anne, I must confess that mine aren’t even halfway!... Maybe I have a too ambitious idea to work out, and of course the amount of people whom I owe HH mail art has increased...

Fortunately November isn’t over yet, so we still have some time :-)

Comment by Mary Anne on November 13, 2019 at 11:47am

Dear Rosalie,  don't rush it!  Mine is nowhere finished yet so you are far from the last . . .

Comment by Rosalie Gancie on November 13, 2019 at 11:07am

I hope to have more of my box done today - but I've been saying that for a few days! Will try to post a photo tomorrow - even if it's just a 'work in progress'.
