Many of Höchs works from 1926 to 1973 critique the mass culture beauty industry and gained significant momentum in mass media through her fashion and advertising photograph. Höch liked to make strong statements against racial discrimination and this can be seen in 'Schnitt mit dem Küchenmesser DADA durch die letzte weimarer Bierbauchkulturepoche Deutschlands' .
I like Höchs work because it has meaning and portrays a certain industry through her eyes and what she sees however I don't think i'll use her techniques in my work as they stand out from the background too much for the subtle look that I wanted. The images are just block pictures layered one on top of another in a collage style whereas I would prefer the layers to fade together and appear to be one image whereas it is clear that these images are separate and put together.
