Collage:
The Making of Modern Art by Brandon
Taylor (Author)
" "A masterful
and lavishly illustrated landmark survey—the
first to cover the history of collage in this
much depth."—Library Journal
From the seminal moment in 1908 when the young
Picasso took a piece of brown card pasted with
a "Magasins du Louvre" label and converted it
into a new kind of picture, collage has been at
the heart of modern art. ...
This book, the first comprehensive survey of the
technique, explores in full the theoretical implications
and political messages behind the work of the
past century, explaining how the process was intimately
linked to other revolutions in art practice. It
covers the many offshoots of collage, including
assemblage, montage, photomontage, and décollage.
Along the way it outlines a new vision of modern
art springing from this most simple and democratic
of techniques. 206 illustrations, 91 in color. " (...exerpted

almost 100 years ago....
This stunning book explores
the role of collage in contemporary visual culture.
Featuring the work of both established talents
and a new generation of artists, it examines
how collage is used to confront and comment
on a world that is dominated by the mass media
and obsessed with conspicuous consumerism. ... " (...exerpted
