Raoul Hausmann

Raoul Hausmann was an influential Austrian artist and key figure in the Berlin Dada movement during the early 20th century. Born in 1886, he is best known for his innovative work in photomontage, a technique that combines photographs and other visual elements to create new meanings. Hausmann's art often reflected his critiques of societal norms and politics, especially in response to World War I. He believed in the power of art to provoke thought and change. His contributions extended beyond visual arts to include poetry and theoretical writings, making him a significant player in the avant-garde artistic movements of his time.
