Contemporary Australian Collage and Its Origins

Résumé du livre

"Collage is many things to many artists. Some work with found objects to emphasise the beauty of junk and ways in which discarded materials can be transformed into art works of formalist aesthetic qualities. Some use collage to heighten a sense of 'reality' in an art work, or to challenge concepts of 'illusionism' on a two-dimensional surface. Some exploit collage juxtaposition to reveal previously unsuspected 'truths,' or layers of meaning. Some use collage images for heightened conceptual and psychological significance."--BOOK JACKET.
