This idea comes from the observation that many, if not most, modern artists have either made collage or used collage as part of their process. This goes back to the beginning. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were less interested in the juxtaposition of fragments than they were in using materials to convey flatness in painting. In <a href=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/issues\/issue-two-is-this-collage\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Kolaj<\/em> #2<\/a>, we wrote about how Venezuelan painter Alejandro Otero, in a fit of inspiration, cut up and reconfigured his mundane cubist paintings one evening as a means of imagining the geometric abstraction for which he became famous. Collage facilitates innovation. And perhaps no artist fully wielded the technology of collage more than Eduardo Paolozzi.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/issues\/kolaj-19\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Kolaj<\/em> #19<\/a>, Ric Kasini Kadour writes about how an exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery highlights Paolozzi&#8217;s reputation as an apex figure of Modernist art, one of particular importance to collage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5803\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33.jpg\" alt=\"K19-page-32-33\" width=\"700\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33-560x350.jpg 560w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33-260x163.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/K19-page-32-33-160x100.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitechapelgallery.org\/exhibitions\/eduardo-paolozzi\/\">Eduardo Paolozzi exhibition<\/a> was held at Whitechapel Gallery in London, 16 February-14 May 2017.
