Höch explored gender and identity in her work, and in particular she humorously criticized the concept of the “New Woman” in Weimar Germany, a vision of a woman who was purportedly man’s equal. In Indian Dancer: From an Ethnographic Museum she combined images of a Cameroonian mask and the face of silent film star Maria Falconetti, topped with a headdress comprised of kitchen utensils. Höch’s amalgamation of a traditional African mask, an iconic female celebrity, and tools of domesticity references the style of 1920s avant-garde theater and fashion and offers an evocative commentary on feminist symbols of the time.

Although the Berlin Dada group fractured in the early 1920s, Höch continued to create socially critical work. She was banned from exhibiting during the Nazi regime, but she remained in Germany during World War II, retreating to a house outside Berlin where she continued to make work. In 1945, after the end of the war, she began exhibiting again. Before she died in 1978, her significant contribution to the German avant-garde was recognized through retrospectives of her work in Paris and Berlin in 1976.

Höch’s bold collisions and combinations of fragments of widely circulated images connected her work to the world and captured the rebellious, critical spirit of the interwar period, which felt to many like a new age. Through her radical experimentations, she developed an essential artistic language of the a

Avant-garde that reverberates to this day.

I got  images of two animals and I chose to pick a giraffe and a cat I thought it would be cool to do so I really liked how it came out, my friend helped me retouch it and we used Photoshop 

  I used a pencil and rubbed the paper with my fingers to create shading and I really liked the result of that 

I like this picture because I can tell that the artist was creative with his art, I can also see that he added animals like a cat and dog

Salvador Dalí was born on 11 May 1904, at 8:45 am, on the first floor of Carrer Monturiol, 20 in the town of Figueres, close to the French border in Catalonia, Spain. Dalí's older brother, who had also been named Salvador (born 12 October 1901), had died of gastroenteritis nine months earlier, on 1 August 1903. His father, Salvador Luca Rafael Aniceto Dalí Cusí (1872–1950) was a middle-class lawyer and notary, an anti-clerical atheist and Catalan federalist, whose strict disciplinary approach was tempered by his wife, Felipa Domènech Ferrés (1874–1921), who encouraged her son's artistic endeavors. In the summer of 1912, the family moved to the top floor of Carrer Monturiol 24 (presently 10) Dalí later attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes to an "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descendants of the Moors

       

I chose this type of painting because I really like dark colours and I thought adding black, white, purple, and blue would go really well. I started off by using purple after that I mixed in a bit of white which went really well together. I used different materials to create what I have made , the different fabric gave it a different look which I  really love , I cut up a bunch of fabric that i found and turned it into art .The 1st thing i started with was the white fabric to create the head and then i got a different type of fabric and used it for the body then i used the same black fabric for the eyes .
