"Compressed Utterances brings focused attention to collage in a
Germanic context, whose contours and impact are still so little
appreciated. As this stunning volume shows, collage serves as a key
medium not only for understanding art historical developments but
social and political transformations as well, often embodying the
dynamic forces of avant-garde criticality." (Thomas O. Haakenson,
Associate Professor, History of Art and Visual Culture, California
College of the Arts) "A deep dive into the paradigmatic medium of
the twentieth century, Compressed Utterances is the foundational
text of the growing field of collage studies. The book's
established and emerging authors investigate an astonishing range
of previously unknown collage work to explore German artists' and
writers' deployment of this medium as appropriative, intertextual,
alienating, and temporally slippery." (Elizabeth Otto, Professor of
Modern and Contemporary Art, The University at Buffalo, State
University of New York) Composite pictures create narratives and
images from many fragments. They turn often disparate and
juxtaposing images and text into a singular image or message.
Collage makes from the broken and, arguably, no other country has
reflected the fractious nature of its history more than Germany.
The collage form is one of the best expressive forms to be taken up
and experimented with by German artists since 1912. Compressed
Utterances: Collage in a Germanic Context after 1912 brings
together essays by scholars, students and curators to examine the
use of collage by German-speaking artists, making in their homeland
and abroad, whose works are closely connected to the tumultuous
histories of Germany and neighbouring German-speaking nations since
1912 to the late 2000s.
