Collage #44 (Still Life---Tea Pot, Clementines, Newspaper) Collage

This is part of an on-going series of collages in various styles and subject matter. It is loosely inspired by a 1949 post-cubist oil painting by Georges Braque, titled "Atelier". It is made up of an assemblage of found papers, my own handmade acrylic painted papers, black acrylic paint for background, black marker, my own photo of a plate of clementines, my own cut-out of a tea pot, a vintage 1958 headline of a local Montreal newspaper----all pasted onto a thin sheet of backboard. My aim in creating this Collage was to evoke a particular visual display reminiscent of a period oil painting by Braque, but with various cut-out pieces of paper. It is hoped that the imagery conveyed here is bound to attract the attention of any viewer. And once appropriately Matted and Framed by the Buyer, the Collage will be suitable to hang anywhere, either by itself or among other artworks.
