The Sunblind', Juan Gris, 1914

It means creating a work rather like a painting, but with pieces of paper and fabric ('found objects') stuck together on a surface to make a work of art. Collage is a popular technique in modern art.

History Early precedents Techniques of collage were first used at the time of the invention of paper in China, around 200 BC.

Das Undbild, Kurt Schwitters, 1919

The use of collage, however, wasn't used by many people until the 10th century in Japan, when calligraphers began to apply glued paper, using texts on surfaces, when writing their poems.[3] The technique of collage appeared in medieval Europe during the 13th century. Gold leaf panels started to be applied in Gothic cathedrals around the 15th and 16th centuries. Merz 410 Something or Other, Kurt Schwitters, 1922. Still Life, Fernand Leger, 1927.

Untitled, Kurt Schwitters, 1928. It happens that, right at the time I’m visiting San Francisco, the Berkeley Art Museum is hosting the first major exhibition in fifty years on the work of mockduck favorite Kurt Schwitters— master collagist, all-around loon.

Belying his tendency to dress like a banker, Schwitters was one of the great eccentrics of the early modernist period, running a one-man design movement he called Merz (named after the tail end of a sign reading Kommerz visible through his apartment window) throughout a life spent on the run, in exile from Nazi Germany. Schwitters’ main legacy is his apeshit use of collage, gluing together random found objects that somehow form an intensely introspective, personal viewing experience: I went to the exhibition with old friend Alastair Johnston (shown here playing Thelonious Monk in Monk costume). As much as I enjoyed the collages, the 500 pound gorilla of the show was lurking in the basement, where the curators had sought to rebuild Schwitters’ infamous Merzbau.

Topsham III, Maine, USA, Liesl Pfeffer. 2015

I am from Brisbane, Australia, and I’ve lived in Brooklyn for the past four years. Is there anywhere in Brooklyn around you studio that you get away to? My studio is at the intersection of Morgan and Grand Avenues in Bushwick, which is perfect for me in terms of location but sadly not really serviced by cafes or lunch spots. I usually bring food to the studio or cycle somewhere to pick up something quick, like the little taqueria at Los Hermanos tortilla factory on Starr Street.

I also love the ramen at Shinobi Ramen on Grattan Street for dinner with a good book after a studio day. Describe a typical day in the studio for you. I try to arrive by 10 am and stay until 7 pm or later. I don’t plan what photograph will be used in which part of a collage, or go out shooting photographs to be used in specific pieces, I just sort through my piles of photographs until I find the image that feels right. — Liesl Pfeffer No laptop?

Yes! It’s crucial! Right? Dizygotheca Elegantissima, Leisl Pfeffer, 2015. Dani, Patrick Bremer. Inspired by Derek Riggs Iron Maiden album covers and figurative painters such as Lucien Freud or Francis Bacon, the very talented Patrick Bremer was mainly known for his portraits paintings, but now his beautiful collages have also brought him recognition. He received his BA in painting from Wimbledon School of Art in London and has been awarded the De Laszlo Foundation award for his portraiture by The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He works part time work as a secondary school teacher as helping children with artwork inspires and influences his work. He creates his extraordinary collage work with layers of collaged magazines and books on paper and chooses strips and chunks of paper that fit the image both visually but also textually.

Egyptian Landscape, Paulele Beach House, 2016. My Grade 9's recently finished their landscape collages. I wanted a landscape lesson that wasn't drawing-based and I also wanted to use up a bunch of old magazines and scraps of coloured construction paper, so this project was the perfect solution.

It uses minimal materials to get quite lovely results. Students were required to create a landscape that incorporated a background, middle ground and foreground. For the paper, they had to use a combination of ripped and cut (with scissors) paper to create contrasting shapes and a variety of textures. For inspiration, you could show students the work of California collage artist Eileen Downes. They started by sketching out a plan for their landscape- a simple pencil drawing- and labeling what colours would go where.

Then they looked through the magazines and ripped/cut/collected the necessary colours. They started gluing, with watered down white glue and a paintbrush, from the sky (background) and worked their way down to the bottom. Ta da! Memories of Blue Days, Geoffrey Howard. Collage IV, Marina Witt.
