"If you enjoy collage, you are in good company. In the early 1900's Picasso and Braque combined paper, wood, and oil paint on canvas. Kurt Schwitters and Henri Matisse used metal, cloth, wood and wire in their collage art. American artist Joseph Cornell expanded collage with his shadow boxes. Iin the 1960's, Robert Rauschenberg brought Pop Art collage to its high point with newspaper, magazine clippings, and silk screen prints. Today, all these media and more are being used to push the definition of collage art into the 21st century." This book will give you lots of great ideas for how to use these materials and more in all kinds of wonderful projects.
