Une histoire mondiale du collage magnifiquement illustrée, des origines du papier à nos jours. Bien que l'émergence du collage soit souvent située au vingtième siècle, lorsqu'il est devenu le médium favori des artistes modernes, ses premiers balbutiements sont liés à l'invention du papier en Chine vers 200 avant notre ère. Des formes ultérieures sont apparues dans le Japon du XIIe siècle avec des manuscrits enluminés qui combinaient la poésie calligraphique avec des papiers colorés déchirés. Au début de l'Europe moderne, le collage a été utilisé pour documenter et organiser des herbiers, des spécimens de plantes et d'autres systèmes de connaissance. Aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, le collage a été fermement associé à l'expression des relations intimes et des affections familiales. Fragmentary Forms offre une nouvelle perspective globale sur l'un des moyens d'expression culturelle les plus anciens et les plus durables au monde, retraçant la riche histoire du collage depuis ses origines anciennes jusqu'à son utilisation aujourd'hui en tant qu'outil puissant de narration et d'exploration de l'identité. En abordant le collage et l'histoire de l'art de manière globale, Freya Gowrley explore ce qui se passe lorsque des formes fragmentaires qui se chevauchent sont en conversation les unes avec les autres. Elle s'intéresse à tout, des volumes de reliques religieuses de pèlerins et des albums d'algues de l'époque victorienne aux papiers collés modernistes de Pablo Picasso et de Georges Braque, en passant par les quilts de Faith Ringgold qui explorent l'identité afro-américaine. Gowrley examine le travail d'artistes anonymes et inconnus dont les noms ont été perdus dans l'histoire, soit par accident, soit par exclusion. Avec des centaines de belles images, Fragmentary Forms démontre que l'utilisation d'objets trouvés est une caractéristique importante de cette forme d'art unique et que le collage est un médium inclusif qui a permis aux communautés marginalisées et aux artistes de s'exprimer à travers les siècles et les cultures.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. While the emergence of collage is frequently placed in the twentieth century when it was a favored medium of modern artists, its earliest beginnings are tied to the invention of paper in China around 200 BCE. Subsequent forms occurred in twelfth-century Japan with illuminated manuscripts that combined calligraphic poetry with torn coloured papers. In early modern Europe, collage was used to document and organise herbaria, plant specimens, and other systems of knowledge. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, collage became firmly associated with the expression of intimate relations and familial affections. Fragmentary Forms offers a new, global perspective on one of the world's oldest and most enduring means of cultural expression, tracing the rich history of collage from its ancient origins to its uses today as a powerful tool for storytelling and explorations of identity.Presenting an expansive approach to collage and the history of art, Freya Gowrley explores what happens when overlapping fragmentary forms are in conversation with one another. She looks at everything from volumes of pilgrims' religious relics and Victorian seaweed albums to modernist papiers colles by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and quilts by Faith Ringgold exploring African-American identity. Gowrley examines the work of anonymous and unknown artists whose names have been lost to history, either by accident or through exclusion.Featuring hundreds of beautiful images, Fragmentary Forms demonstrates how the use of found objects is an important characteristic of this unique art form and shows how collage is an inclusive medium that has given voice to marginalised communities and artists across centuries and cultures. A beautifully illustrated global history of collage from the origins of paper to today. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
