Richard Flood Collage: The Unmonumental Picture Издательство: Merrell Publishing Жанр: Merrell Publishing Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 144 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub The simplicity of collage, together with its strong graphic presence, lent the medium a sense of revolutionary possibility when it was first adopted by avant-garde artists almost 100 years ago. During the twentieth century collage gradually became identified with such artistic practices as Cubism, Dada and Surrealism, and today it has gained new momentum as an energetic art form with a strong political dimension. This stunning book explores the role of collage in contemporary visual culture. Featuring the work of both established talents and a new generation of artists, it examines how collage is used to confront and comment on a world that is dominated by the mass media and obsessed with conspicuous consumerism. • Offers fresh perspectives on contemporary collage, including contributions from the featured artists • Includes the work of both well-known and new practitioners of this vibrant art form, among them Thomas Hirschhorn, Kim Jones, Wangechi Mutu, Martha Rosler, Nancy Spero and John Stezaker
