A masterful and lavishly illustrated landmark surveythe first to cover the history of collage in this much depth. Library Journal From the seminal moment in 1908 when the young Picasso took a piece of brown card pasted with a Magasins du Louvre label and converted it into a new kind of picture, collage has been at the heart of modern art. Indeed, in seeking to transform the discarded scraps and residues of everyday life, the technique found extraordinary new opportunities for subversive rupture, playful artifice, and surreal juxtaposition, together with a completely new conception of the work of art as a material thing. Collage quickly became essential to the idea of the modern, leaving its mark on almost every art movement since, from Dada and Constructivism, via Surrealism, Pop, and Situationism, to the digital techniques of today.This book, the first comprehensive survey of the technique, explores in full the theoretical implications and political messages behind the work of the past century, explaining how the process was intimately linked to other revolutions in art practice. It covers the many offshoots of collage, including assemblage, montage, photomontage, and decollage. Along the way it outlines a new vision of modern art springing from this most simple and democratic of techniques. 206 illustrations, 91 in color.

I found 'The Making of Modern Art' to be really informative, but I was surprised by how thick and heavy it is. It’s a bit cumbersome to read in bed. Still, the details about the evolution of modern art are worth the effort. Just not the most portable book!

A Fascinating Look at Art History
'The Making of Modern Art' is such an engaging read! I bought it as a gift for my sister who loves art, and she couldn’t put it down. The illustrations and insights into modern artists' processes are really intriguing. Definitely a must-have for art lovers!

Disappointed with the Print Quality
I expected more from 'The Making of Modern Art'. The content is interesting, but the print quality wasn’t great—some pages had smudges and it looked off. I hope my next purchase will be better. Just a bit let down overall.
