Elza Adamowicz presents an analysis of surrealist collage, both as
a technique of cutting and pasting ready made material, and as a
subversive and creative strategy. She considers verbal collage,
pictorial collage, and the hybrids they generate, and discusses the
works of Max Ernst and Andre Breton, as well as those of Aragon,
Brunius, Eluard, Hugnet, Magritte, Peret, Styrsky and others.
Focusing on the recycling of art-historical icons, the parodic
reworking of narrative cliches, the concept of defamiliarisation of
the banal, or the relations between part bodies and totalities, she
offers close readings of individual collages, and links specific
aspects of collage practice to central issues of surrealist
aesthetic and political thought. Throughout this well illustrated
study Adamowicz confronts the 'monstrous' nature of collage,
grounded on excess and composed of irretrievable fragments and
hovering signs.
