Analysis

In 1919, Hannah Höch began to use photomontage technique in Dada. Despite her traditional artistic education, she continued until the end of life to create her works using a collage technique that combined clippings of print media. In "Dada - review" different fragments of text and images depict a grotesque political kaleidoscope.

The collage is a sectional view of the period after the World War I. It is possible to recognize faces of German President Friedrich Ebert in a swimsuit and US President Woodrow Wilson as an angel of peace. There is ridicule, changing perspectives and proportions, and between them words and letters. Höch is the only female Berlin Dadaist who used photomontage to parody "giant global absurdities" using photos, headlines and advertisements from magazines.[1]

gollark: I mean, I mentioned recursive descent parsing on APIONET beforehand, it's approximately in my overly-onelinery and bad-variable-namey style, it's a technically working lisp but weird and broken in a few ways (negative number parsing!), I think some of the comments are vaguely inaccurate or at least not how someone more experienced with lisps would describe things, and the thing ignored Python idioms a fair bit.
gollark: Thus, leave.
gollark: *May* be, I think.
gollark: Anyway, I'm kind of surprised that nobody got that my lisp interpreter was me, although maybe I'm sinthorionizing slightly.
gollark: It should be a program which hijacks your computer and uses it for bee deployment.
