Montage and Modern Life, 1919-1942

By Matthew Teitelbaum

The development of photomontage techniques during the early 1920s and 1930s in Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States had a profound influence on contemporary art and mass media. Montage and Modern Life uncovers the roots of this complex relationship. Through unexpected juxtapositions and discontinuous images, and through some of the most sophisticated and least cultivated examples of the art form, it demonstrates how a common set of social and cultural themes was broadly articulated, culminating in a new way of seeing that is the hallmark of the late 20th century.
