"Dreaming With Balloon"

 

"Inventing Abstraction" is a current exhibit at the Museum of

Modern Art www.moma.org and is the basis for the syllabus for this semester's class on collage.  Two of the artists whose work I appropriated are Paul Strand and Henryk Berlewi and the result is featured in the collage at the right.  I cut up Berlewi's very linear work and then added an old photo of an unknown person and gave him a red balloon to hold.

If you cannot visit the museum and see this excellent show in person, I suggest you go to the MOMA website and click on "Inventing Abstraction".  It is a terrific alternative to being there in person.
