"WHAT DOES A WOMAN WANT?", the question that Freud put to Marie Bonaparte in 1925

Hannah HÖCH (1889-1978), "Half Caste" (1924), collage

As an artist, Höch was most drawn to photos of women's faces and bodies, which she collected, cut apart and then recombined. The result is sometimes painful, ocasionally frightening, sometimes both mysterious and moving; which is to say that it offers the full range of emotion that comes with the truth.
