Scope and Contents

The first of what was to have been a two volume work; the author died before completing Volume Two. This first volume covers the classic age of collage, prior to WW II and contains some material on the 1950's and 1960's. The author, Dr. Herta Wescher, was the friend of many Bauhaus and other collage artists.Her writing embodies the enthusiasm, humor, affection, and personal comprehension of a participant in the lively and contentious circles she frequented. Assiduously she tracked down reminiscences and forgotten works from those tumultuous times, rescuing from oblivion much previously unpublished material. Thanks to her research, the reader may not only see the output of world-famous collagists, but also may meet the brilliant but often neglected Czech adherents of Futurist and later styles; the Russian Avant Garde; the loners from various parts of the world, all of whom helped make collage one of the most direct and unguarded forms of expression in the long history of art." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
