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.

Hello Mother, speaking for myself, your friend (or anyone else for that matter) need not be a member of IUOMA, nor the H.H.club, to join in.  As long as there is a return address on the piece, it will get a response.  The more the merrier and surprises are always (at least here) welcome.

Welcome all! Rosalie, note that this is a public group so if you prefer your address private, please e-mail us your address or write it in the mail you’ll be sending.

Hi Rosalie, welcome to the band! Can you put your post address in the fan club? Otherwise I can only send you a scan. 

Comment by Mary Anne on October 2, 2019 at 5:42am

That's right Rosalie.  You will be number seven.

I love Hannah Hoch. There's a nice book about her called Cut With the Kitchen Knife: The Weimar Photomontages of Hannah Hoch.  So for this project we send 6 artworks (one to each person). And then we each have our own box to put in the works we receive?  Is that right?

thanks,

Rosalie

I learned that Hannah kept a scrapbook with images she used in her work. I have started a digital one with some images I may or may not use. Here is a page from my scrapbook:

I agree with you: better a small but happy and enthusiastic gang for Hannah's birthday than a half interested crowd! I am really excited about this mailart and will keep a constant eye on my postbox. I have to work a bit on the cards, but then I will send mine too. In the last days I came across two boxes, so I just wait and look which of these is fitting better as a birthday box.

Hello mother. I think I have the same list as you which is:

Heleen de Vaan. Netherlands.
Carmen Kennedy. USA.
Mary Anne. United Kingdom.
Cascadia Artpost. USA.
Charlotte Geister. Germany.
Mehrl Bennett. USA.

Hopefully there will be some surprise additions. Anything Hannah-ish that arrives here will go into the box and get a similar reply and I dare say the same goes for anyone else. I haven't found a suitable box yet but I am sure I will do and I plan to post a picture of it here on Ist.
We are a small but happy band so far. The end result should be fine. . . November

The dolls do look better in color! And, from what I have been reading, life for a woman artist was very, very difficult in those days and times. The more I read, the more I admire Hannah.
