Picasso and Braques were already exploring the breaking down of images with analytic cubism. Their early works in this style reduced familiar elements in our world down to curved lines and simple shapes. Synthetic cubism, now known as collage, applied similar principles of fragmentation, but took the style a step further by layering various materials on one surface.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2104\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2104\" style=\"width: 286px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/Hoch-Hannah_Cut-with-the-Dada-Kitchen-Knife-through-the-Last-Weimar-Beer-Belly-Cultural-Epoch-in-Germany.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2104\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2104\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/Hoch-Hannah_Cut-with-the-Dada-Kitchen-Knife-through-the-Last-Weimar-Beer-Belly-Cultural-Epoch-in-Germany.jpg\" alt=\"Hannah H\u00f6ch, &quot;Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany,&quot;\" width=\"286\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/Hoch-Hannah_Cut-with-the-Dada-Kitchen-Knife-through-the-Last-Weimar-Beer-Belly-Cultural-Epoch-in-Germany.jpg 476w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/Hoch-Hannah_Cut-with-the-Dada-Kitchen-Knife-through-the-Last-Weimar-Beer-Belly-Cultural-Epoch-in-Germany-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Hannah H\u00f6ch, &#8220;Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany,&#8221; 1919, collage of pasted papers, 90\u00d7144 cm, Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (courtesy of<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia.org<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The term collage is derived from the French word \u201ccoller\u201d which means \u201cto glue\u201d.

Picasso\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Still Life With Chair Caning <\/em>(1912) is a piece that revolutionized the art form. In this work, he uses part of a chair as his surface, and combines imagery in unexpected ways. For the first time, viewers of art had the opportunity to interpret commonplace items in a new way. The value of the materials changed as they were used to deliver new concepts through layering and juxtaposition.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1889\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1889\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1889\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Rauschenberg, &quot;Cardbird 1&quot;\" width=\"400\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7.jpg 1387w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7-676x1024.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7-768x1163.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7-1014x1536.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2005.9.7-1353x2048.jpg 1353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1889\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Robert Rauschenberg, &#8220;Cardbird 1&#8221;, Collage print on corrugated cardboard, 1971, Gift of Mr. Donald H. Steinmetz, Escalette Collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since its early days, collage has inspired several art movements of the twentieth century and beyond. Dada artists drew inspiration from the technique for their readymade pieces in the post World War I era. A few decades later, artists like Robert Rauschenberg would be using collage as their main form. Rauschenberg often took collage a step further by melding together both flat elements but also three dimensional elements that popped off the surface. Innovations within the use of collage have become a staple of<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/2015\/11\/23\/pop-goes-the-easel\/\">Pop art<\/a>. Collage has served as an excellent way for pop artists to break down consumer culture, as it can take the commercial goods that society holds so highly and render them effectively useless, yet loaded with meaning.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe direct use of objects (rather than illustrations of the objects) allows for a more aggressive and accessible piece of work. One of the most amazing things about collage is the fact that it broke down the barrier between high and low culture. It brings in elements that the average viewer can understand, and often uses these elements to make a powerful commentary. Many artists today continue to use collage in their work, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/2016\/02\/10\/mark-bradford-abstraction-and-identity\/\">Mark Bradford<\/a>, who uses papers found around the streets of L.A. to tell the story of where those found objects come from.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2108\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2108\" style=\"width: 475px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2108\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2108\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Chobe&quot; by Jay McCafferty\" width=\"475\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1.jpg 1570w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1-1024x1022.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2016\/04\/2006.3.1-1536x1533.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Jay McCafferty, &#8220;Chobe&#8221;, Burned cardboard collage on canvas, Gift of Ron Linden, Escalette Colleciton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Collage has become such a significant element in both the art world and our childhoods as it allows for a world of creativity and innovations.
