Hans Christian Andersen - Picture Book - 1862
“Throughout this century, collage has come to symbolize a
revolution in the nature of making art.
Collage has often
emphasized concept over end product; it has stressed the meaning
of process; it has brought the incongruous into meaningful congress
with the ordinary and given the uneventful, the commonplace, a
magic of its own.”

“The technique of collage was ideally suited to capture the noise,
speed, time, and duration of the twentieth-century urban industrial
experience. Collage became the medium of materiality, recording
civilization, its humanity and inhumanity, capturing the topical, the
transitory, and the absurd.”
