Assemblage Art
Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually created on a defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting out of or from the substrate. It is similar to collage, a two-dimensional medium. It is part of the visual arts and it typically uses found objects, but is not limited to these materials. The term also may be applied to free-standing works that have been assembled. History The origin of the art form dates to the cubist constructions of Pablo Picasso c. 1912–1914. The origin of the word (in its artistic sense) may be traced back to the early 1950s, when Jean Dubuffet created a series of collages of butterfly wings, which he entitled ''assemblages d'empreintes''. However, Marcel Duchamp, Jean Arp and others had been working with found objects for many years prior to Dubuffet. Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin created his "counter-reliefs" in 1914. Alongside Tatlin, the earliest woman artist to try her hand at assemblage was Elsa von Freytag-Loringh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
