collage art movement

collage art movement 

a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

A collage may sometimes include magazine and news  clippings, ribbons, paint bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts,photo graphs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.

The term collage derives from the French "coller". This term was coined by both in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art
