Introducing an Unusual Art Form

Five members of the Atlanta Collage Society will be featured in the Art Gallery during November and December. If you ask “What is collage?” be prepared to experience a whole new way of appreciating color, shape, and substance in art.

Collage is a technique, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is an assemblage of different materials, thus creating a new whole. A collage may include newspaper clippingsribbons, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork, texts, photographs, or other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but the technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century. The term “collage” was coined by cubists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when it became recognizable as modern art.
