The artwork known as “Watched” was created by the artist Hannah Höch in the year 1925. It belongs to the Dada art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
In the artwork, a peculiar scene is depicted where a human figure stands atop a white, round surface, adjacent to an abstract formation of organic elements. The figure is dressed in an elaborately detailed outfit, evocative of historical or formal attire, with an incongruous circular object replacing the head. This imagery is juxtaposed against a background featuring a large, colorful flower with intricate petal designs, and dark, plant-like structures that create a stark contrast. The combination of the human element, the ornamental flower, and abstract shapes evokes a sense of surrealism, characteristic of Höch’s Dadaist style.
