Description
Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage is a groundbreaking historical survey of the art form of collage. Spanning over 400 years, from the 1500s to the present day, this book explores the evolution of collage, from its origins in book illustrations and prints to its modern-day applications in digital media. Featuring over 200 works, the book takes a broad approach to the subject, encompassing a range of techniques, including cut-and-pasted paper, photography, patchwork, and film. The authors provide an in-depth examination of collage's role in various art movements, including Cubism, Futurism, Dada, and Surrealism, as well as its use in anti-establishment protest and its current popularity among digital artists. The book includes an introductory essay, a catalogue of exhibition works, and a chronology of collage, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of this versatile art form.
