Flavorwire

Collage — at least in the way we think of it today — is a relatively new art form, all things considered. The form rose to recognition around the turn of the 20th century, when the term was coined by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, and has since become a viable method of creative expression and communication, one that is only becoming more and more relevant in our age of constant remixing and re-appropriation. On November 19th, the Carl E. Smith Fine Art gallery in Laguna Beach, CA will open “SLASH: An International Survey of Contemporary Collage,” an exhibition featuring the collage work of both established and emerging artists from all over the world, in an effort to both “consider the prestigious history of collage and point with confidence to its bright and promising future.” Click through to see fifteen works from the exhibit, and then check out the CES/FA website for even more.
