Hannah Hoch - Life Portrait

The Green Box 2016 ISBN 9783941644847 Acqn 26017
Hb 23x23cm 96pp 40col ills 30
The Life Portrait is the last art work by Hannah Hch made between July 1972 and March 1973.
The photographers Liselotte und Armin Orgel Khne encouraged the artist to create the selfportrait in form of a collage and provided her with the original photographs.
The Life Portrait, with the dimensions 130 x 150 cm, is the biggest collage Hch has ever made.
It marks the final point in her full and active life that spanned almost 100 years. The viewer gains
an insight into the story of the extraordinary and self-confident woman who went through all the
highs and lows and in the same time gets an impression of life during the last century.
Hannah Hch defined 38 sections of the image, gave detailed explanations on them and told
about her personal experience in connection with these. These 38 parts are pictured in the book
alongside the overview of the entire collage. The accompanying text, together with the original
quotes, takes a closer look at Hannah Hch, her artistic work as well as at the political and social
events of her time. Based on the stories and anecdotes, the text reflects the life of the artist and
completes the collage with the additional biographical information.
The book covers a wide range of interest: art fans, scholars and historians as well as young
people interested in art can get an insight into the life of the artist Hannah Hch.
