It is the art of putting together or assembling of small pieces of paper, tiles, marble, stones, etc. They are often found in cathedrals, churches,
temples as a spiritual significance of interior design. Small pieces, normally roughly quadratic, of stone or glass of different colors, known as
 tesserae, diminutive tessellae , are used to create a pattern or picture.
The term "eCollage" electronic Collage can be used for a collage created by using computer tools. Pablo Picasso , Compotier avec fruits, violon et
verre, Though Le Corbusier and other architects used techniques that are akin to collage, collage as a theoretical concept only became widely
discussed after the publication of Collage City by Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter. Rowe and Koetter were not, however, championing collage in
the pictorial sense, much less seeking the types of disruptions of meaning that occur with collage.
Instead, they were looking to challenge the uniformity of Modernism and saw collage with its non-linear notion of history as a means to reinvigorate
design practice. Not only does historical urban fabric have its place, but in studying it, designers were, so it was hoped, able to get a sense of how
better to operate. Rowe was a member of the so-called Texas Rangers , a group of architects who taught at the University of Texas for a while.
Whereas for Rowe, collage was more a metaphor than an actual practice, Hoesli actively made collages as part of his design process. He was
close to Robert Slutzky, a New York-based artist, and frequently introduced the question of collage and disruption in his studio work. The
concept of collage has crossed the boundaries of visual arts. In music , with the advances on recording technology, avant-garde artists started
experimenting with cutting and pasting since the middle of the twentieth century.
In the s, George Martin created collages of recordings while producing the records of The Beatles. In pop artist Peter Blake made the collage for
the cover of the Beatles seminal album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In the s and s, the likes of Christian Marclay and the group
Negativland reappropriated old audio in new ways. By the s and s, with the popularity of the sampler , it became apparent that " musical collages "
had become the norm for popular music , especially in rap , hip-hop and electronic music. Miller aka DJ Spooky 's work pushed the work of
sampling into a museum and gallery context as an art practice that combined DJ culture's obsession with archival materials as sound sources on his
album Songs of a Dead Dreamer and in his books Rhythm Science and Sound Unbound MIT Press. In his books, "mash-up" and collage based
mixes of authors, artists, and musicians such as Antonin Artaud , James Joyce , William S. Burroughs , and Raymond Scott were featured as part
of a what he called "literature of sound.
Collage is commonly used as a technique in Children's picture book illustration. Eric Carle is a prominent example, using vividly colored hand-
textured papers cut to shape and layered together, sometimes embellished with crayon or other marks. See image at The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Collage is sometimes used alone or in combination with other techniques in artists' books , especially in one-off unique books rather than as
reproduced images in published books. Collage novels are books with images selected from other publications and collaged together following a
theme or narrative. The bible of discordianism , the Principia Discordia , is described by its author as a literary collage. A collage in literary terms
may also refer to a layering of ideas or images. Collage is utilized in fashion design in the sketching process, as part of mixed media illustrations,
where drawings together with diverse materials such as paper, photographs, yarns or fabric bring ideas into designs.
Collage film can also refer to the physical collaging of materials onto filmstrips. Canadian Film maker, Arthur Lipsett , was especially renown for his
collage films, many of which were made from the cutting room floors of the National Film Board studios. The use of CGI , or computer-generated
imagery , can be considered a form of collage, especially when animated graphics are layered over traditional film footage. David O. In this case,
the effects serve to enhance clarity, while adding a surreal aspect to an otherwise realistic film. When collage uses existing works, the result is what
some copyright scholars call a derivative work. The collage thus has a copyright separate from any copyrights pertaining to the original
incorporated works. Due to redefined and reinterpreted copyright laws, and increased financial interests, some forms of collage art are significantly
restricted. For example, in the area of sound collage such as hip hop music , some court rulings effectively have eliminated the de minimis doctrine
as a defense to copyright infringement , thus shifting collage practice away from non-permissive uses relying on fair use or de minimis protections,
and toward licensing.
The copyright status of visual works is less troubled, although still ambiguous. Mar 09, Kevin rated it really liked it Shelves: artsy-graphic-esque ,
nonfiction-or-memoir. A pretty thorough though sometimes stiff and overly academic look at the history of collage art up until the 90s at least.
Pretty great sampling of work. I especially liked the chapter about the California collage scene like Wallace Berman and George Herms that was
inspired by various poets like Rexroth, Duncan, and Kerouac. View all 3 comments. I picked up this heft reference book at our local library,
intending to flip through the illustrations. In the end I read the entire book, and was particularly interested in the early history of collage, Picasso and
Braque.
The writing style is academic and rather dry, not for the casual reader, but there is much of interest here in how art, politics and society influence
one another. View 1 comment. Nov 29, Sharon Barrow Wilfong rated it it was ok. Collage is about the history of the art of collage. Picasso and
Braque and the Dadaists originated the style and there are samples from several different Modern Expressionist artists. Some of the collages were
interesting and the history was informative, but I felt as the years progressed the quality of the collages sunk. Shellie rated it really liked it Feb 20,

abstract.
Then, he arranged those different cut-outs into lively compositions. They started out modest in size, but over time they grew in scale, becoming as
large as murals. The cut-out medium allowed Matisse to finally make the kind of monumental works he had wanted to make for a long time,
transcending the confines of easel painting and working with a new type of free reign.
The paper cut-outs could be pinned into place, easily rearranged, and seamlessly fused colour with his signature arabesque lines. His line drawing,
he had once said, most directly translated his emotions. Now, with the cut-outs, his saw himself as drawing with scissors. It became the place
where some of the most audacious, avant-garde art of the times was shown. Joseph Cornell is particularly interesting as a complex, shy figure who
lived all his life with his mother and never had a formal art education. Yet, his Surrealist assemblage works housed in shallow wooden boxes were
to make him one of the most important artists of the 20 th century working in collage and assemblage. It was around the time that Pollock was lost
 in his alcoholism and unable to paint that she retreated to her little studio and found solace in the cutting, tearing, and pasting of her collage work.
Exhibiting alongside Krasner in was the collage artist Ann Ryan. Ryan had seen a Kurt Schwitters show in and became deeply inspired.
Incredibly, Ryan rarely worked on a larger scale than postcard size. Yet she was still creating her own monumental abstractions in her head; she
had a monumental vision on a very intimate scale. Californian art was therefore, in a sense, free to develop fully of its own accord. Collage and
assemblage became important elements of this development. Clay Spohn, for example, who had studied under Fernand Leger in Paris in the s,
made mixed media-works and assemblage from all kinds of found objects — scrap metal and other cast-off materials. Los Angeles after became a
melting pot of cultures, and artists like Bertold Brecht and Man Ray even lived there for some time, bringing a touch of Europe and its avant-garde
with them.
It is around that time in LA that Wallace Berman started making his quasi-religious assemblages revolving around the relationship with his wife.
