ABCD

ABCD is a self-portrait as well as an advertisement created in the 20's.  Hausmann's face is a cut out and an announcement of his performance of a phonetic poem he was to do. The letters VOCE, which are italian for voice, appear inside what looks like an ear, and the letters ABCD, a prototypical poem, are clinched in the artist's teeth.

Hausmann's photomontages capture my attention and inspire me.   It is a way to express yourself in a completely different way then painting or drawing.  you're coming up with new ways to arrange already existing images to create something, sometimes, beyond imaginable.
