Description
John Stezaker: Film Still explores the artist's ongoing series of film still collages, which began in 1979. This body of work marked a significant shift in Stezaker's practice, moving away from text-based conceptualism and towards a new material focus. The series spans over four decades, with Stezaker drawing on a range of films to create intricate collages. From classic American-period Hitchcock films to low-budget studio releases from the 1940s and 1950s, each piece is carefully crafted using film still excisions and superimpositions. This comprehensive collection brings together Stezaker's earliest works with his most recent full-colour illustrations. The book includes an essay by David Campany and a conversation between the critic and the artist, offering insight into Stezaker's creative process and artistic vision.
