Douglas Penn Collage dedicated to American political prisoner Jonathan Jay Pollard CollageGallery. Com presents the finest in historical, contemporary and avant garde collage from around the world. I n little more than two hundred years, a blink in Nature's evolutionary eye, the number of people inhabiting our planet has multiplied more than six-fold. Garbage, the discarded remains of the products manufactured and grown to satisfy our real and imagined needs, the metal and wood in which they are packed and shipped, the paper and plastic that advertise them, all find their way to dump and incinerator, to street and roadside.
Garbage is our historical emblem.
A rt is a snapshot of culture, a historically defined vision of society expressed within the limits of the technology and materials of the time. Collage, the art medium in which garbage constitutes both materiel and final object, will one day represent the present to the future as painting and sculpture represent the past to the present.
