| book description |

Â«Compressed Utterances brings focused attention to collage in a Germanic context, whose contours and impact are still so little appreciated. As this stunning volume shows, collage serves as a key medium not only for understanding art historical developments but social and political transformations as well, often embodying the dynamic forces of avant-garde criticality.Â» (Thomas O. Haakenson, Associate Professor, History of Art and Visual Culture, California College of the Arts) ã€€ Â«A deep dive into the paradigmatic medium of the twentieth century, Compressed Utterances is the foundational text of the growing field of collage studies. The bookâ€™s established and emerging authors investigate an astonishing range of previously unknown collage work to explore German artistsâ€™ and writersâ€™ deployment of this medium as appropriative, intertextual, alienating, and temporally slippery.Â» (Elizabeth Otto, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art, The University at Buffalo, State University of New York) ã€€ Composite pictures create narratives and images from many fragments. They turn often disparate and juxtaposing images and text into a singular image or message. Collage makes from the broken and, arguably, no other country has reflected the fractious nature of its history more than Germany. ã€€ The collage form is one of the best expressive forms to be taken up and experimented with by German artists since 1912. Compressed Utterances: Collage in a Germanic Context after 1912 brings together essays by scholars, students and curators to examine the use of collage by German-speaking artists, making in their homeland and abroad, whose works are closely connected to the tumultuous histories of Germany and neighbouring German-speaking nations since 1912 to the late 2000s.
