Dada... Johannes Baargeld

The Dada artist I chose to write about was Johannes Baargeld... In the two examples of his work shown he has use the techniques of photomontage and collage in his work Ordinäre Klitterung: Kubischer Transvestit vor einem vermeintlichen Scheideweg and overpainting in his work Le Roi rouge.

Ordinäre Klitterung: Kubischer Transvestit vor einem vermeintlichen Scheideweg

In this work Baargeld cuts up different photographs to form a photomontage. In this process Baargeld also uses the typical techniques that form a collage, not all of his images are photographs, in fact many of them are paper clippings like you would find in most regular collages.

Le Roi rouge


This work uses mostly just the technique of overpainting since he is painting or drawing over and incorporating different aspects of the original piece or scrap and creating a new work of art. He also uses a slight bit of typography, but that is some what over shadowed by the drawing aspects of the work.
