Collage - art with roots from the early 20th century

Collage as a modern art form is said to have its roots in the early 20th century, when Picasso in his work Still life with a caned chair used different materials. You could say that collage art is a form of mixed media, where the artist creates effects and unique expressions by assembling such things as paper clips, photos, sketches, textiles, and other objects. In addition, it is not entirely unusual to mix techniques such as oil, acrylic, spray paint and marker in their collage paintings.

 

This technique is also said to have been used by recognized names such as Henri Matisse and George Braques, as well as often in Surrealism, Cubism, and Dadaism. No matter what kind of artist's style you like, one thing is certain: collage as a technique gives the artist endless possibilities to create works that are unlikely any other.

Collage paintings as eye-catchers

 

A painting with collage can capture and touch you as a viewer in many different ways. They can be abstract or full of figures, colorful and vibrant, or muted and monochrome. Are you looking for highly unique original art to create a more vibrant home? Then collage paintings are something for you, whether you combine them with other art or let a single collage painting stand in the spotlight.
