Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage
 Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collageby Patrick Elliot with Freya Gowrley and Yuval EtgarCollage is one of the defining subjects in Modern Art. It is as important and popular today as it has ever been. This definitive survey of collage and 3-D sculpture (made from bits and pieces stuck and nailed together) spans the whole period from about 1600 to the present day. It overturns long-held accepted views of when the art of Collage began and is packed with fascinating historical images as well as revealing some astonishing, never-previously- published images, such as a huge screen of 400 engravings by Charles Dickens. Each page of this book is filled with fascination. The lavish illustrations include images of items such as books with fold-out flaps, Victorian collage, Valentine and greeting cards, double exposure photographs, album covers such as Sgt Peppers, the Hungry Caterpillar, many curiosities and items from Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Pop, 70’s counterculture, video and computerized collage. A News & Notes item about the exhibition was featured in Kolaj #26. PURCHASE KOLAJ #26. Text adapted from the author’s press materials.
