Abstract
The author tries to assess the heritage of the historical works
of "cut-and-paste, of darkroom double-exposure, of add-a-text,
of overlay- or strip-together'', referring to 2 recent
publications: ""Montage and Modern Life: 1919-1942'' (1992),
edited by Matthew Teitelbaum, and David Evans's ""John
Heartfield AIZ/VI 1930-38'' (1992). Montage is understood not
only as a reflection of its historical period but as a
productive force of cultural change. It includes artifacts from
the Nazi period normally excluded under a political taboo It
abandons categories of high and low culture, ""gleefully
mingling images from disparate sources.'' Bridging the gap
between fine art and mass culture.
