This piece "ABCD" was completed by Raoul Hausmann in 1923/1924 this piece is a collage and photomontage on paper and is 40.4 x 28.2 cm. Haussmann was one of the leading men of the Berlin dada art period, Raoul Hausmann is attempting to distort the image by adding a variety of different pictures in. Housman is also being very expressive because it just looks very unusual and looks like Hausmann has just sticked ' ' images on the collage. I think Hausmann worked from imagination and using found imagery fro different sources. The work makes me question what the artist is is trying to achieve because it doesn't make a lot of sense. The artist has sed very dull colours , reflecting the time that the art was produced as such Hausmann appears to have little choice about the colours he has used. Raoul was part of the surrealist movement so this would have influenced his work, I like this piece because it has no meaning therefore you are forced in to asking yourself questions also the use of juxtaposition works well.
Raoul Hausmann has a very antiquated style you can tell by the colours of the piece "ABCD", the colours are very dull in this piece so this where as the colours of my work are very bright and vibrant due to me taking my pictures out of a magazine . Both mine and Hausmann style is "cut and paste" his work is very surrealistic where as mine isn't very surrealistic.
You focus on the face first as this is biggest part of the artwork, also the colours play a part as you focus on the big black writing on the orange background, isn't very realistic as it looks like the photos and letters have just been stuck on.
