I’m not a practicing collage artist (yet), but I’m a contemporary art school grad and I’m not buying into the idea that collage isn’t considered real art by the academic crowd. Collage is a powerhouse - it challenges norms, has theoretical depth just like any other art form. Exploring the intricacies of collage I’m genuinely falling in love with its diverse communicative possibilities. You’re amazing. Keep pushing

Thanks, I was so happy to hear about the elder collage artists as I am just starting this journey, although without an art background, at 82. I am very excited about the possibilities!

That is so lovely, it truly is never too late to start! 💕 Proud of you for pursuing your dreams 😊

Wonderful! Thank you! More please 😊

Yes, please, more please! I’m always scouring the web for Collage history (have always been à devotee of Matisse) as well as info on new collage artists. Just acquired 2 editions of Cut That Out! They’ve become my routine nightcap. I’m a newbie and a senior as well and so thrilled that my life has collided with Collaging! Thank you again for all that you do and for your own inspiring talent.

Aren't they such a great resource?!? I love reading them over and over. I'll definitely try to do another round up of collage artists to share with you.

You may also want to look up Mary Delany (1700-1788). Collage art has been around for a much longer time than we tend to believe. The problem is that art historians leave out way too much art from their art history books.

Oh yes it was very interesting, I've always loved seeing other work, especially for inspiration and actually yes I really need to get collaging again... I've not done any for a while as I've been recovering from surgery... Its fairly involved for me as my organisation is totally out of control which is another story entirely 😂😂❤️ Pop art was very big back in Andy Warhols time and one or two artists pop up as collage artist but I never really found out about Richard Hamilton and his piece he made for Ladies Home Journal, was it a one off or did he do more collages too. 😁 Not sure if you know about him?

For me the artist that validated the idea of making collage art high art was Lance Letscher. Although I have studied all the artists you’ve mentioned throughout my art history and art career, no other artist made collage more relevant for me. You need to check out his documentary. Recently he’s been interviewed on a podcast as well as during an artist spotlight at a university and those interviews are worth your time.

Do you know how to read signatures?

The one thinning going to say is that I went from acrylics to pastels and I'm now very into collage. And tbh my painting style and themes do not correlate at all with my collage or my origami. I think you trying to find correlation amongst artists own work is a flawed approach.

Please stop using the word 'interesting' so much. Yes, we know it's interesting - that's why you're talking about it and that's why we're here!

Picassa makes me cringe, his art is fine, but he probably just went in life stripping off anything and everything he could and drinking the blood from any woman he got close to him, when you see his videos, he walks and moves like a todler, ewww
