- Abstract
The article presents the life and works of Raoul Hausmann and his contribution to photography. Hausmann was a photomonteur and dadaist who developed and fabricated photomontage, a pictorial idiom or technique which means a simple cutting apart, rearranging and reassembling of photographic images into a different structure and morphology, together with Hannah Höch, John Heartfield and George Grosz. Accordingly, photomontage became the most important technique which had brought a strictly photographic vocabulary in art. On the other hand, an interpretation of Hausmann statement which is relevant on today's younger photographers and print makers is presented.
