One of many exhilarating artistic developments that took place
during the early twentieth century, the fine art medium of collage
emerged from the cubist gluing and pasting explorations of Georges
Braque and Pablo Picasso. As a result of its experimental genesis,
collage has continued to serve not only as a primary form of
expression for many prominent artists, but as a principal means of
evaluating and developing new creative strategies.
Conceived and written by renowned artist, author, and teacher
Gerald Brommer, "Collage Techniques" first presents the medium
within the context of a wide variety of materials, including washi
(oriental and rice papers) and watermedia; stained, prepared, and
found papers; photographs; and fabrics and fibers. Each category of
material is examined through a step-by-step demonstration and works
by artists who approach collage in original and refreshing ways.
The latest trends in technologically enhanced collage, including
such high-tech applications as multiple photocopying and digital
scanning, are also discussed. The author then explores how the
elements and principles of design are used in collage, and how they
in turn are employed in all the major genre, including still life,
landscape, the human figure, abstraction, and nonobjective imagery.
Beautifully illustrated with the work of more than eighty noted
artists, including Edward Betts, Jae Carmichael, Margo Hoff,
Katherine Chang Liu, and Fred Otnes, "Collage Techniques" is an
essential reference for all artists and illustrators, regardless of
their creative focus or choice of medium.
