Tracing a lineage from nineteenth-century makers to contemporary practitioners, we encounter Victorian album makers; Modernist, Surrealist and Dadaist innovators; and radical, second-wave feminist artists. Thematic sections include profiles written by expert contributors on key individuals, including Hannah Höch, Dora Maar and Lorna Simpson. Looking to the future as much as the past, \u003ci\u003eCut Out\u003c\/i\u003e also reveals how the pioneering work of contemporary and digital artists continues to subvert dominant narratives and foster ever-expanding forms of photographic collage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At a moment when photography and its history are being actively contested and reappraised, \u003ci\u003eCut Out\u003c\/i\u003e is a reminder of its political power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780500481127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 30 Apr 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Thames \u0026amp; Hudson Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 27.5(H)x23(L)1520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 1520\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiona Rogers is the V\u0026amp;A Parasol Foundation Curator of Women in Photography, with a focus on contemporary artists and feminist practice.
