5.0 out of 5 stars
A refreshing simplicity of explanation and example!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Collage (Hardcover)
Collage as a modern art medium originated around 1910 when Picasso and Braque stuck scraps of newspaper to their canvases. Since then it has been inventively employed by artists ranging from the Dadaists to Rauschenberg in his 'combine' pictures. The author of this concise treatise is an artist and lecturer who takes the reader through the basic elements of the subject with a refreshing simplicity of explanation and example. Illustrations of collage works by artists Schwitters, Matisse, Gris and others demonstrate the almost limitless potential of this inexpensive and versatile method of constructing art objects in which almost anything from photogaphs to string, seeds and nails may be effectively used

A Collage Event!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Collage (Hardcover)
Collage is an art form rapidly acquiring new disciples, principally because the technical process is within everybody's sphere. It can be defined simply as the selection, arrangement and adhesion of ready-made materials to a surface, so its scope is almost limitless and the substances used are cheap- often free. A book by an acknowledged authority in the media, therefore, is an event that should not be missed, particularly for those wishing to learn by example. Brian French, in lucid, simple language and with numerous illustrations, analyses the composition of collage from the theoretical stage through colour, shape, texture, line and construction to framing for presentation. And he does it with flair and infectious enthusiasm. the book is well worth studying by all attracted to the media, and one that I unhesitatingly recommend

What a book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Collage (Hardcover)
What a book! Brian French shows us that colour and texture only exist in context with their surroundings.
