Summary

The third edition of this classic study, the first to focus on this pioneering art form and practice.

Photomontage Summary

Photomontage by Dawn Ades

Manipulation of the photograph is as old as photography itself. It has embodied and enlivened political propaganda, satire, publicity and commercial art, and created evocations of the 'brave new world' of the future through surreal and fantastic visions. Photomontages were made by, among others, the Dadaists, John Heartfield, El Lissitzky, Hannah Hoch and Alexander Rodchenko, and many of their works were reproduced for the first time in print when this groundbreaking study was originally published.

Revered by academics, critics and readers alike, this new edition with updates is still the only definitive guide to the subject.

With 225 illustrations in colour

'A valuable service to art and artistic theory, and to history and social studies as well' - The Times Literary Supplement

'Beautifully lucid and precise ... packed with information and insight' - Time Out
