thumb|right|300px|Kurt Schwitters, Das Undbild, 1919, [[Staatsgalerie Stuttgart]] Collage (, from the , "to glue" or "to stick together") is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, by which art results from an assembly of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collage may refer to the technique as a whole, or more specifically to a two-dimensional work, assembled from flat pieces on a flat substrate, whereas assemblage typically refers to a three-dimensional equivalent.

AI overview

Collage is an art technique in which artists glue or stick together different flat materials to create a new visual work, and the term can refer either to the method itself or to the finished two-dimensional artwork. It matters as a recognized approach to making art that transforms separate pieces into unified wholes, distinct from three-dimensional assemblage techniques.

Notes

A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs 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.
