Photoshop and Photomontage- Raoul Hausmann


Hausmann , born 1886 , was a founding member in the Dada movement and this was very much a part of his artistic style. He used a combination of both paint and images to create his montages and they often reflected his wild personality.



I  think that his work shows a certain precision and skill of composition and juxtaposition which creates an interesting appeal towards his work.
In mixing the images with each other, Hausmann creates a relationship between the objects and in doing so, the image becomes more effective. His use of text and images creates a contrast which is both interesting and eye catching; the change between rough and smooth or the sharpness in each image.
