Collage in the twentieth century

Collage in Twentieth-Century Art, Literature, and Culture by Rona Cran explores the revolutionary impact of collage as both a medium and a method of creative expression in the 20th century. Focusing on key figures such as artist Joseph Cornell, writer William Burroughs, poet Frank O'Hara, and musician Bob Dylan, Cran examines how each used collage to challenge traditional boundaries in their respective fields. The book delves into the ways in which collage reflects fragmentation, dislocation, and the complexities of modern life, offering a cross-disciplinary study of art, literature, and culture. Through detailed analysis and rich examples, Collage in Twentieth-Century Art reveals how this technique helped shape the postmodern world.
