COLLAGE - ASSEMBLING CONTEMPORARY ART

This book seeks to trace through seminal essays by art critics Sally O'Reilly and David Lillington and artists John Stezaker and Ian Monroe. Divided into five themes, Collage is lavishly illustrated with works by both collage 'masters', such as Picasso, Georges Braque, Kurt Schwitters and Richard Hamilton, as well as those by contemporary artists who are finding new ways to define the medium. As a result, this volume presents a rich history that serves both as a context in which to consider contemporary developments in collage as well as the implications for future practice.
