Collage art was popularized by Cubist artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the early 20th century. These artists began working with various mediums to create avant-garde assemblages around 1910, and their innovative approach to art attracted other artists to explore the practice of collage art. The term "collage" comes from the French word "coller," which means "to glue". Since then, collage art has been adopted and explored by artists across many movements, mediums, and styles, including Dadaists and Surrealists.
