MAXIMISM
NOUVEAU COLLAGE
In
1912 the French artist, George Braque, created the first fine art paper
collage. Braque's accomplishment was revolutionary. His innovation
ushered in a new era in art. The monopoly technique of painting with a
brush was now permanently altered.

The
paper collage changed forever the regard for the use of the traditional
paint/brush stroke process as the means to produce art. Fifty years
later in 1962, with the creation of my first collage, I discovered a
process to apply paper so that the finished work appears to be painted…
equivalent to the paint/brush stroke process, this furthering the use of
paper as a fine art medium.
