  • The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. by Elizabeth Otto
    133 Book Reviews Tempo, Tempo! The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. By Elizabeth Otto. Berlin: Jovis Verlag, 2005. 176 pp. $35.00 cloth. Elizabeth Otto’s recent exhibition catalogue and catalogue raisonnée of the photomontages of Marianne Brandt recovers a previously unpublished body 134 THE SPACE BETWEEN of work and addresses two issues of great importance during the Weimar Republic: the complicated roles of women, and the physical and emotional fragmentation of modern life. Women occupied a confl icted position in 1920s Germany, experiencing struggles over gender and work, sexuality, economic independence, and a general movement towards liberation. Much German art of the period, as seen in paintings by Otto Dix, featured the quasi-mythical fi gure of the Neue Frau, or New Woman, a construction heav- ily propagated by the popular press as well.1 Simultaneously, visual artists and other purveyors of culture, from musicians to playwrights, turned to the fragmentation of montage as a way to impart the disjointed, chaotic nature of life in the urban metropolis.2 In her photomontages, produced over the course of a decade, Marianne Brandt returned again and again to themes of the modern metropolis, new technologies, and the status of women. Brandt chose the medium of photomontage specifi cally for its critical potential: by carefully selecting, fragmenting, and recombining images from the mass media, Brandt implicitly questioned the apparent progress of women, the militarization of German society, and the quality of urban life. Born in Chemnitz in 1893, Marianne Liebe began her formal train- ing under Fritz Mackensen. Strongly infl uenced by the Expressionists, Liebe earned a degree in painting from the Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Weimar in 1918.

Unified by the breadth and depth of art from across Europe, it offers seldom seen works from the pinnacle of the Avant-Garde, from the figurative to the abstract. At its core is an exceptionally beautiful 1931 portrait of Picasso’s lover, Marie-Thérèse, an intimate glimpse into their early days together when the love between the artist and his most important muse was still a secret from the world.” The first decades of the twentieth century would change the course of art history for ever. This treasure-trove from a private collection – little known and rarely seen – spans the remarkable period, telling its story through the leading protagonists, from Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti to Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger and Alexej von Jawlensky.
