Collage of apples, close up
July 5th, 2008
Here's another shot of the "Heirloom Apples" collage, a detail of two apples first posted . This kind of collage is similar in character to what Henri Matisse made in the latter part of his career. The paper is painted with tempera and then cut into shapes. Streaks from the application of the paint show in the cuttings and become accidental elements of the work, giving it additional texture and interest.
This is like drawing with scissors.
