I’m rather late with this one, Metamorphosis Victorianus\u2014Modern Collage, Victorian Engravings & Nostalgia<\/em> is an exhibition running at the Ubu Gallery<\/a>, New York until the end of the month. Lots of the names one would expect to see in a collection of engraving collagists although no Wilfried S\u00e4tty<\/a>. The examples shown here are by Max Bucaille.<\/p>\n

Max Ernst<\/a> (1891\u20131976), with such work as his shocking and seminal illustrated collage-novel, La Femme 100 t\u00eates<\/em> (1929), influenced an entire wave of artists who looked towards the Surrealist and his use of 19th Century engravings as a point of departure within their own work in this medium. The first generation of artists were Ernst’s contemporaries, who worked primarily in the 1930s with significant connection to the Surrealists: Joseph Cornell<\/a> (1903\u20131972), Jind?ich \u0160tyrsk\u00fd<\/a> (1899\u20131942), Otto Hofmann<\/a> (1907\u20131994), Franz Roh<\/a> (1890\u20131965), Max Bucaille<\/a> (1906\u20131992), and Gerome Kamrowski<\/a> (1914\u20132004). Those a generation later, including Ray Johnson<\/a> (1927\u20131995), Bruce Conner<\/a> (1933\u20132008), and Jess<\/a> (1923\u20132004), each separately rediscovered Ernst, specifically choosing to use this type of collage as a jumping off point towards other conceptual ends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
