In January, Executive Director Brian Lee Whisenhunt, will discuss Pieces and Parts: Betye Saar, Whitfield Lovell, Radcliffe Bailey and The Subversive Nature of Collage in American Art.
Collage, photomontage and assemblages are art-making techniques employed by artists using found objects and images from existing material or sources. This meeting will look at recent additions to the Rockwell collection by artists who employ this technique or utilize a collage-style in prints, sculptures and drawings. It will also look at other artists, mostly working outside of the mainstream art world, who utilized collage as a subversive approach to artmaking and conventional aesthetics.
