Collage # 2 (Nostalgia circa 1902) Collage

This collage artwork is part of a series begun in late 2017, and that is still on-going. Unlike some contemporary collage artists my works in this genre do not attempt to convey any kind of social or political message. My aim is simply to create pasted paper artworks that are visually pleasant and imaginative assemblages. My influences in this genre are the first collage artists of the early years of the 20th century like Picasso, Braque, Juan Gris, Kurt Schwitters and contemporary artists like Cecil Touchon. This collage work is 16 X 12 inches---40.5cm X 30.5cm. It is made up in part by some acrylic paint borders and various found papers, old writing, and old photograph all pasted unto 140lbs watercolour paper. The aim is to attempt to evoke a sense of period nostalgia and remembrance. The peculiar imagery conveyed by this Collage is bound to attract the curious attention of any viewer. And once appropriately Matted and/or Framed by the Buyer, it will be suitable to hang anywhere, either by itself or among other artworks. The peculiar imagery
