  3. El Lissitzky The Constructor Photomontage 1924 Borrowing from two Russian art movements, Suprematism and Constructivism, both of which favoured abstract geometric shapes in unshaded colours, Lissitzky superimposed an image of himself on a piece of graph paper, and layered on top a picture of his hand, uniting hand and eye in a symbol of ideal labour. Superimposing one image on another recalled the experiments of Cubism.

  7. Photomontage Soviet and German experimental photography developed at the same time, and practitioners vigorously exchanged ideas. Photomontage originated in Germany, but was adopted in Russia soon after World War 1. The avant-garde Dada movement, initiated by artists who took refuge in Switzerland during the war, spread to Berlin, and from there to Moscow. Experimental artists cut pictures from magazines and newspapers and pasted them together in composite images whose jumbled scale and perspective challenged conventional expectations. The Berlin Dadaist Hausmann wrote that the group agreed on the term ‘photomontage’ as opposed to photocollage because of “our aversion at playing the artist and thinking instead of ourselves as engineers”. The jumbled appearance of photomontage was more than formal inventiveness: it was a token of the quick changes and disruptions of modern life that seemed, in the period immediately after World War 1 and the Russian Revolution, to promise progressive social change.
