The German Dada artist, Hannah Höch, is the subject of a retrospective exhibition at London’s Whitechapel Gallery (on display from January 15th – March 23rd.) One of her late photo-montages, ‘Kleine Sonne’ (‘Little Sun’, 1969) depicts the grinning mouth of Marilyn Monroe hovering beside a fish’s eye. Her source may have been Richard Avedon‘s promotional photo for Some Like It Hot which graced the cover of LIFE magazine ten years previously, on April 20th, 1959. You can read more about Hannah Höch in today’s Guardian.
