COLLAGE BOOKS

Green Ladies

by Musta Fior. French Frog, 2021. Green Ladies presents a series of forty collages made from photos of women that accompanied advertisements or information in magazines from the 1940s through the 1980s. Most of these women are no doubt no longer with us. It was thus to pay homage to them by means of cuttings of plants as if nature began to take back its rights. It is also a reference to the illustrations of Jean-Jacques Grandville. MORE

*****************************

Kolaj Magazine, a full color, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one's thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.

“Many people don’t know how to handle their strong emotions. Our wrong perceptions can make us angry or fill us with despair. To see clearly, we must calm down. When we’re overcome by strong emotions we’re like a tree in a storm, with its top branches and leaves swaying in the wind. But the trunk of the tree is solid, stable, and deeply rooted in the earth. When we’re caught in a storm of emotions, we can practice to be like the trunk of the tree. We don’t stay up in the high branches. We go down to the trunk and become still, not carried away by our thinking and emotions. We don’t say or do anything; we just focus all our attention on the rise and fall of our abdomen, our trunk. This protects us from speaking in anger and saying something we may regret.” -Thich Nhat Hanh, How to Fight
