One of many exhilarating artistic developments that took place during the early twentieth

century, the fine art medium of collage emerged from the cubist gluing and pasting

explorations of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. As a result of its experimental

genesis, collage has continued to serve not only as a primary form of expression

for many prominent artists, but as a principal means of evaluating and developing

new creative strategies.

Conceived and written by renowned artist, author, and

teacher Gerald Brommer, Collage Techniques first presents the medium within the context

of a wide variety of materials, including washi (oriental and rice papers) and watermedia;

stained, prepared, and found papers; photographs; and fabrics and fibers. Each category

of material is examined through a step-by-step demonstration and works by artists

who approach collage in original and refreshing ways. The latest trends in technologically

enhanced collage, including such high-tech applications as multiple photocopying

and digital scanning, are also discussed. The author then explores how the elements

and principles of design are used in collage, and how they in turn are employed in

all the major genre, including still life, landscape, the human figure, abstraction,

and nonobjective imagery.

Beautifully illustrated with the work of more than eighty

noted artists, including Edward Betts, Jae Carmichael, Margo Hoff, Katherine Chang

Liu, and Fred Otnes, Collage Techniques is an essential reference for all artists

and illustrators, regardless of their creative focus or choice of medium.
