Description
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 Höch, and Alexander Rodchenko, and many of their works were reproduced for the first time in print when this groundbreaking study was originally published.
Photomontage is 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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Times Literary Supplement praises it as "a valuable service to art and artistic theory, and to history and social studies as well." Observer calls it "an excellent run-down of this most opportunist of twentieth-century art forms," while Time Out describes it as "beautifully lucid and precise ... packed with information and insight." Amateur Photographer simply finds it "an interesting look at an unusual topic."
