Okay so for now I am quite interested in researching Hannah Hoch's involvement with photography as well as how she used her art as a means of advocating homosexuality. It may be a fleeting interest but regardless.....
CLAIM: Hannah Hoch's art aided in a revolutionary art movement (Dadaism) and also simultaneously can be viewed as advocating feminism and providing the stepping stones for the acceptance of homosexuality.
EVIDENCE: "Tamar" a photomontage that illustrates the idea of judging on the basis on gender.
PURPOSE: This photomontage circles around the issue of gender and also like her other works she touches base on the issues of homosexuality, feminism, and a lot with women's role in society and how they are viewed.
AUDIENCE: Hoch's audience would be first the german people as this is where a majority of her work was created and so viewed, but on a grandeur scale it appeals to the mass of woman and men as it empowers women and enlightens men of the injustices of the female gender.

Sounds really great--i think it's really nice to juxtapose the questions she raised about sexuality and gender alongside her more overt political goals. fleeting interests are often good ways to begin. for your project especially, it will be helpful to be able to identify HH "experts"--i.e. people who have spent their lives studying her and writing about her...
