{"product_id":"9780823006557","title":"Collage Techniques","description":"One of many exhilarating artistic developments that took place during the early twentieth  century, the fine art medium of collage emerged from the cubist gluing and pasting  explorations of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. As a result of its experimental  genesis, collage has continued to serve not only as a primary form of expression  for many prominent artists, but as a principal means of evaluating and developing  new creative strategies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conceived and written by renowned artist, author, and  teacher Gerald Brommer, \u003ci\u003eCollage Techniques\u003c\/i\u003e first presents the medium within the context  of a wide variety of materials, including washi (oriental and rice papers) and watermedia;  stained, prepared, and found papers; photographs; and fabrics and fibers. Each category  of material is examined through a step-by-step demonstration and works by artists  who approach collage in original and refreshing ways. The latest trends in technologically  enhanced collage, including such high-tech applications as multiple photocopying  and digital scanning, are also discussed. The author then explores how the elements  and principles of design are used in collage, and how they in turn are employed in  all the major genre, including still life, landscape, the human figure, abstraction,  and nonobjective imagery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beautifully illustrated with the work of more than eighty  noted artists, including Edward Betts, Jae Carmichael, Margo Hoff, Katherine Chang  Liu, and Fred Otnes, \u003ci\u003eCollage Techniques\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference for all artists  and illustrators, regardless of their creative focus or choice of medium.","brand":"Brommer, Gerald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Hobbies)","offer_id":48201229664480,"sku":null,"price":23.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_53eeabdc-9253-46f0-a0c1-7ca05bc89d49.jpg?v=1764859082","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9780823006557","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
