Collage comes from the French term coller, which means to glue or paste. But collage art is much more than cutting and pasting. This book takes up some creations of different artists who work the collage in a very personal way, each with very distinct techniques: Some use photography, Rocío Monotya, Eli Craven; some use paint, Scott Waters; and others even work with objects, like Max Shuster. All of these are techniques that have resulted in multiple styles and languages which are presented in this book.
In turn inspirational and extraordinary, theseprofiles in female courage,
determination, andadventure are illustrated with breathtakingphotography from
some of the most intriguingcorners of the world.
Frida Kahlo is the most famous Latin-American painter of the 20th century and a fundamental figure in Mexican art. She met Pablo Picasso and André Bretón; she was a friend of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky and of poet Pablo Neruda. She received writers, artists, film directors, doctors, politicians, and photographers at her home. Diego Rivera, the most recognized artist of Mexican mural art and Frida´s husband, described her in this manner: “Your genius is in the painting and in your image. Decidedly, there is no other living painter that can do what you do. You have laid with the whole painter race."
