Collages

Louis Aragon's "Collages" brings together a selection of writings on the art of collage and its creative process, penned between 1923 and 1965. The author champions collage as a new means of expression, challenging the traditional view that valorizes oil painting. He connects this approach with masters of the form such as Max Ernst, John Heartfield, and Adolf Hoffmeister. Aragon's writings offer a critical perspective that questions the perception of reality in modern painting, interdisciplinary art production, and the aesthetic value of collage. These texts provide readers with a rich perspective on the historical transformation of art.
