Collage

Since before World War I collage has been linked with innovative art and social movements. The author, Dr. Herta Wescher, was the friend of many Bauhaus and other collage artists. Thanks to her research, the reader may not only see the output of world-famous collagists, but also may meet the brilliant but often neglected Czech adherents of Futurist and later styles; the astonishing Russians; and loners from various parts of the world, all of whom helped make collage one of the most direct and unguarded forms of expression in the history of art. 12x8.5", 417 pp., 396 illustrations, including 40 hand-tipped plates in full color.
