But it is at the time of a stay at the edge of the Baltic, with Hannah Hoch, that it had the idea of the photomontage. In almost all the houses where was hung, with the wall, a lithography color, image kind of Epinal, representing a pomegranate on bottom of barracks. To make this memorandum more personal, several families had had the idea to stick to the place of the head pomegranate a photograph of the son or the husband died in the face. It was like a flash, writing Hausmann, I live itself instantaneously to make tables entirely made up of cut out photographs.
