Raoul Hausmann

I decided I needed more artist research to help me find my own path in the cyborg brief and I came across Raoul Hausmann.

From looking at his work, it is far from my own style of working. But that is why I picked him to research. I want to keep my options open, also I feel his style of working would be a good place to start. It is very abstract and comic book style.

 As you can see in this photographs there is a lot of cut and paste in people and objects. This gives a very strange and unrealistic feel when looking at his images. He experimented with techniques such as photomontage, painting, fashion design, poet and publisher. 

Raoul Hausmanns photomontages were very artistic in the early periods of Dada, this demonstrates how free his personality is.  Hausmann once quoted that his work is more engineer rather than an artistic which I can kind of see myself.  


I'm glad I research Raoul Hausmann as his style will help me with my own starting point for this brief.
