Artist
Statement:
Five
artists representing the Atlanta Collage Society are now on display through
August 30 in the Smyrna Public Library Art Gallery on the second floor.
Collage
refers to both the artistic technique of arranging and gluing pieces of various
materials onto a supporting surface and to the resulting artwork. Collage is
one form of mixed media. It first became popular in 1912 when Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque were innovating Cubism in their painting. Some say Picasso was
the first to use collage in his oil paintings.
Because
it combines material elements and visual culture, collage creates an
exploratory and evocative process for both the artist and the viewer.
