collage art

Glued fragment artwork

Collage art is visual art made by assembling different materials—paper, photographs, fabric, found objects—onto a surface.

The technique emerged in early 20th-century modernism with Picasso and Braque, who glued newspaper clippings and wallpaper into paintings.

Collage emphasizes juxtaposition and texture, combining disparate elements into unified compositions: Her collage art incorporates vintage postcards and dried flowers.
