The multi-dimensional art form of collage dates back hundreds of years, think gold leafing and jewels in religious art. And while its most dramatic appearance was in the early 20th century, today the art form remains popular with many contemporary collage artists on the scene!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collage art first really became a thing in the early 20th century, when radical left-wing Dadaists used the art form in newspapers as a method of political rebellion in protest against World War I. Shortly thereafter, surrealist artists adopted and adapted the cut and paste technique, relying on the subconscious to produce stunning montages made of illustrations, photographs, paint, and colored paper. Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso are credited as the first modernist painters to use collage in art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, contemporary collage artists are using the classic technique to turn old new. But this time the works of art don’t come with a political or physiological attachment. Instead, top contemporary collage artists like the 6 you are about to see below, are using new techniques and integrating high fashion and couture into their creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
