  Brandt conscious.(Tempo, Tempo: The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt)(Book review) - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Marianne Brandt (1893-1983) was one of the exceptions.
Brandt, however, employed montage (the printed result of collage) in a figurative manner to comment on contemporary inter-war society especially the role of women, gender politics and the militarisation of technology.
Brandt successfully worked as designer for various industries but her brilliant career was ended by a combination of the depression, new Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer (who combined the metal and cabinet-making workshops into an interior design department), and the rise of the Nazis who made sure no lefty Bauhaus product got any work.

 3. Marianne-Brandt-Wettbewerb 2007
The apparent paradox clearly characterises the overall concept behind the creative work of Marianne Brandt and other Bauhaus artists: the most important aspect of an object's design is its function, usability and effective performance.
In keeping with Marianne Brandt's visions, the contest is directed toward product designs which make use of advanced as well as simpler technologies in addition to unusual ideas in providing the user with a product of highest functionality in combination with independence and sensuality.
Therefore, the photography category in the Marianne Brandt Contest is focussed on perfectly-executed independent imaginativeness which can be realised with high-tech apparatus as well as with a simple pinhole camera.

 Modern Art of Metallwork
Marianne Brandt herself has reported another reason: she later wrote that ”we were crazy about simple forms, because we were so much closer to the kitsch of historism then” (”auf einfache Formen versessen [...] weil uns der Kitsch der Gründerzeit [...] noch viel näher war.”).
Perhaps Marianne Brandt had in mind to use the geometrical elements consequently as a sort of construction kit, as her colleagues in the Bauhaus pottery did: just leave away the functional components of the teapot, and you get an ashtray.
Marianne Brandt started with an artistic idea, and finally succeded to create a fascinating and usable design, combining a certain naïvity with utmost radicality.

 Photographie | Tempo, Tempo! | The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt
Marianne Brandt (1893—1983), a leader of the Bauhaus style, is best known as a Bauhaus designer and metal-worker.
Much less well-known are the photomontages that constitute the critical complement to her metal works from the mid-1920s and early 1930s.
It was in these photomontages that Brandt first focused her analytical gaze on contemporary society and politics, and, in particular, on the ominous and destructive aspects of modern technology so apparent in the First World War.

 H-Net Review: Marion F. Deshmukh on Tempo, Tempo! Bauhaus-Photomontagen von Marianne Brandt
Brandt was an important student and artist at the Bauhaus, a metal worker primarily known for her modernist teapots and lamps (still manufactured today).
Brandt employed her mentor's conception of the "photogram." This ingenious method places objects on photographic paper, exposes the objects to light and thereby creates an artful image.
The catalog is certainly a welcome addition to the growing number of works on women artists of Weimar and is important for several reasons.[3] First, Otto describes Brandt's creativity in variety of media--from metalwork to photography to painting.

 Down Tempo - artnet Magazine
This sense is furthered by Brandt’s choices: She seizes on images of dancers, circus performers and movie stars of all kinds -- all people putting on a show, on stage, acting, not themselves.
In the most vivid of Brandt’s war-themed collages, there’s a wheeling field marked with graves, soldiers being tossed through the air and a swooping plane -- but the work has a creeping lack of specificity, as if Brandt were distracted by the abstract rhymes of shape between the plane and the crosses.
Brandt seems to have viewed her time at the Bauhaus as a golden age, but one whose promise had deserted her.

Photomontage is increasingly recognized as a quintessentially modern medium, and this exhibition offers an unprecedented opportunity to discover, enjoy, and evaluate an overlooked body of work by one of Germany's leading artists during the Weimar Republic.
