Max Ernst's collages from 'Une Semaine de Bonte', 1934:
Max Ernst's collage 'La Dame Orale':
A friend knowing that at this time i am occupied with collage making, gave me a really interesting theoretical text under the title 'Collage Making'. Unfortunately i am not sure of the author who might be Kurt Schwitters:
As the author states:'Collage...seems to refer to a group of ephemeral things brought together by a logic that disturbs, or negates, the status of the individual elements' while he adds;'...It counters monopoly and it terrorizes guilds of knoweldge. Every professional academy, institution or organization is vulnerable to collage, as orders of logic are broken apart by the collagist. Access is gained to information which is then reordered so that it 'sits right; into the collagist system of thinking, oblivious of the accepted status qvo.'
The author wonders how collage differs from any other artistic activity, as he compares the collagist of the printing era to the painter whose study sketches reveal that 'a figure might be a composite of different parts from different people and various fragments of sculpture drawn from antiquity.'
In my thought ' collage making' is part of everyday's experience as we gather, select and re-organize in our minds memories; continuously blending fragments of reality with our imagination.
