\nCOLLAGE TAXONOMY<\/p>\n

Fragments Arranged to Emphasize the Compositional Whole<\/h2>\n

The Collage Taxonomy Project is an ongoing survey of the wider collage community that attempts to define the language we use to talk about collage. Visit the project’s website<\/a> to suggest words or contribute definitions.<\/p>\n

Some collagists assemble fragments into compositions to juxtapose different ideas. From this we get Surrealism, a healthy selection of Dadaist work, and a diverse and varied bag of art where the disparate elements of the pictures are meant to be read as distinguished from one another. Fewer collage artists are arranging fragments into a compositional whole where the gestalt of the picture is the art. When this happens, we suggest this should be called \u201ccollage painting\u201d.<\/p>\n

The term comes to us from Carole Bleistein, who defines collage painting with great precision. She defines it as, \u201cA painting, made with paper and other mixed media that is 80% glued and collaged onto a substrate.\u201d This statement alone does not distinguish collage painting from another type of collage, but Bleistein makes an important distinction: \u201cIt represents a compositional whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bleistein\u2019s Farmland Series #4<\/em> combines Japanese papers with sumi ink, acrylic and watercolour painting and pen. The paper fragments coalesce into a composition that abstractly reflects the patchwork of fields seen from above. Farmland Series #4 is an example of collage painting, but to understand the genre, one must understand painting\u2019s context in Modernism.<\/p>\n

In Kolaj<\/em> #18, Ric Kasini Kadour explores the idea of Collage Painting and discusses the artwork of five artists: Carole Bleistein, Janyce Boynton<\/a>, Benon Lutaaya<\/a>, Colin Talcroft<\/a>, and Eva Richardson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
