Photomontage (Revised and Enlarged Edition) by Dawn Ades

Manipulation of the photograph is as old as photography itself: it hsa been used in political propoganda, and has also embodied or enlivened satire, publicity and commercial art; it has created evocations of the 'brave new word' of the future, and surrealist and fantastic visions. Photomontages were made by, among others, the Dadaists, Heartfield, Lissitzky, Rodchenko and Max Ernst, and many of them are reproduced here for the first time. When this unique book was first published, it was hailed as a 'thought-provoking and marvellously (I use the word deliberately) illustrated book ... she has rendered a valuable service to art and artistic theory, and to history and social studies as well' (The Times Literary Supplement). Now it is made available once again in a thoroughly revised and updated edition.
