The artwork titled “Around a Red Mouth” is a collage created by Hannah Höch in 1967. This figurative piece is associated with the Dada art movement, which is known for its avant-garde and anti-establishment aesthetic.
The collage features a prominent red mouth as a focal point, surrounded by layers of abstract forms and organic shapes. The composition includes elements that resemble geological formations, with textures and colors that evoke the appearance of rock strata. The red mouth is enveloped by what appears to be a frilled, layered fabric or a similar material, adding a dynamic and surreal quality to the piece. The overall arrangement of shapes and colors creates a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of Höch’s innovative approach to collage within the Dada movement.
