Grete Stern was an emigre from Nazi Germany who moved to England and finally to Argentina. The images in her work grow into new images. I find her work exciting and very clever. Although much of her work had a commercial/utilitarian purpose, illustrating dreams of readers of a woman’s magazine, the images stand on their own without explanation.

Sometimes its worth repeating an artist. Grete Stern’s accomplishments are incredible. Looking at her work you must imagine the technical difficulties she faced. And what I like about some of these earlier collage works is that they are simpler, cleaner. They are not filled with a hundred different visual ideas.
