Collage art
Collage seems a highly suitable technique for creating the odd and dream - like combinations of images that plumb the unconscious mind .
Using the media of collage , the collage artist manipulates the icons of modern living and consumerism .
The glibness of credit cards and advertising slogans , the saccharine - sweet smiles of air stewardesses and luxury goods are set as the background .
The origin of the word " collage " comes from the French word " coller , " which means to glue .
People still view collage as a craft rather than an art form .
The most popular types of collage fall into the category of " papiers colles " or pasted papers .
Collage is when an artist takes things from everyday life like newspapers , fabric , rope , etc . . . and uses them is his / her art.�
Collage is a technique that incorporates fragments of commercially printed paper into compositions .
Collage as an art form Introduced into fine art by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso circa 1909 .
Ulmer , like many , if not most , art and literary critics sees its origin in the quest for " a solution to the problems raised by analytic cubism , a solution which finally provided an alternative to the ' illusionism ' of perspective which had dominated Western painting since the early Renaissance " .
No , painting is not made to decorate apartments . It is an instrument for offensive and defensive war against the enemy . - Pablo Picasso
In 1909 , Braque began to work with Pablo Picasso .
They both began to use neutral colors and complex geometric patterns .
The art of collage was initiated in 1912 when Picasso pasted a section of commercially printed oilcloth to his cubist painting , Still Life with Chair Caning ( Mus . of Modern Art , New York City ) .�
Collage elements appear in works by Gris , Braque , Malevich , Dove , and the futurist artists .
A basic means of Dada and surrealist art , it was used by Arp , Schwitters , and Ernst .
Dada was based on the principles of deliberate irrationality , anarchy , and cynicism and the rejection of laws of beauty and social organization because of World War II ' s influence .
The French painter Georges Braque and Spanish artist Pablo Picasso made collages for cubist works in the early 20 th century .
Between 1910 and 1912 , Braque began to use a collage .
Collage was later developed by artists of the Dada and Surrealist movements to include found objects .
Today any material fixed to a surface may be termed collage .
The only real challenge in collage is the decision to settle on any given selection of materials .
American pop art of the 1960 s introduced the use of large objects , such as pieces of sheet metal , machine parts , parts from automobiles , and wooden rafters .
Collage art
Whole areas of artistic expression are threatened by what really amounts to runaway greed and profit incentive ( The marriage of art and commerce has always been a very unstable relationship . ) .
To the collage artist is that a derivative work can only include copyrighted material if it is created by the owner of the copyright on the original material , or with that person ' s permission.
This is why collage ( the style of sound organization prompted and permitted by modern audio technologies ) is so pertinent , and why it should get fair use status .
A definably fair use collage ' s ( EXCEPTION: ADVERTISING ) cultural reuse / recycling should be one of the limits on modern copyright ,
not prosecutable through copyright law because THAT ' S affordable free expression for a significant amount of new music being made these days .
A lot of musics now employ collage methods and techniques. Collage music ' s many fragmentary elements cannot be withheld as pay - per - piece material any more , no matter where it originates .
It's anti - collage and it ' s antithetical to copyright ' s goal of encouraging new and useful arts .
Collage is considered a derivative work , sometimes called a " new version " of the original work.
The US Copyright Office says that " Only the owner of copyright in a work has the right to prepare , or to authorize someone else to create , a new version of that work . "
If you are infringing on someone ' s copyright, the lack of blatantly commercial purposes may decrease your risk of damages in the case of a lawsuit .
But infringement is still infringement .
Copyright laws often include a " fair - use " clause allowing copying for various reasons including making a " persona l" back - up in case the original is damaged .
" Oh - bla - di , oh - bla - da , life goes on . " .
Pop Art was sued for literally reflecting culture - like Andy Warhol .
The laws currently guiding copyright don ' t adhere to the post - modern notion of collage , or samples one of the key ingredients of hip - hop and electronic music .
It ' s a debate as old as the genres themselves .
In the visual arts you have people like Picasso or Rauschenberg who are creating artwork out of collage .
For music , the rules are totally different and musicians that build a collage are treated like criminals .
We need to find a way to change that to make sampling practical .
