Collage by Women: 50 Essential Contemporary Artists

Title:
Collage by Women: 50 Essential Contemporary Artists

Author:
Rebeka Elizegi

Publisher:
Hoaki

Curated by the Spanish collage artist Rebeka Elizegi, this book gives voice to both emerging and established artists from all backgrounds, origins and modes of expression and reveals the wide variety of perspectives shaping the medium of collage today. It examines a wide range of manual and digital techniques, topics and aesthetic choices, accompanied by texts which provide in-depth approaches to the inspiration, influences and work trajectory of each artist. Beyond what we all understand as collage (cutting, pasting and creating compositions with a greater or lesser degree of surrealism), the medium is presented as a discipline and means of expression with a hybrid language of its own, enabling artists to create poetic, abstract, radical, provocative or disturbing images.
