Loved this video! Rauschenberg is endlessly fascinating. Fun fact: When Rauschenberg was broke and living in New York, he started collecting things on his walks (trash, metal, etc) to use in his artwork. He called them “combines” because they combined painting and objects. His work with Jasper Johns around this time is what started to bridge the gap between the abstract expressionism and pop art movements.
I loved watching the documentary The Secret Life of Lance Letscher. It is all about his process and his mass collection of source material. It was informative watching him select, cut, and place items to form a magical art piece. He even covered a motor cycle. I purchased it so I could watch it again over time.
Had to pause while watching to encourage you (and others too, hopefully!) to catch the Lance Letscher documentary. There’s some heavy psychological insight and follows him around in his studio. Just seeing his stash of papers and his fussy cutting makes it worth the investment. He’s one of my favorite artists. I’m thrilled to see him mentioned here, thanks for the “part 2”!
For me, Matisse, Rauschenberg, and Johns have been inspirations for many years. I find Bradford's work endlessly fascinating, and Hockney's has influenced me throughout my career (as an architect for 30+ years). Two weeks ago, I discovered Andrew Harper's REISSUED channel, and yesterday, through your recent collaboration with Andrew, I found your channel. Some of Andrew's collage art reminds me of Fred Otnes, who designed numerous collage illustrations and several postage stamps. Robert Silvers caught my attention in the 1990s with his large-scale assemblages of photos, often with all of the images sharing a common theme. But juxtaposed or opposing themes can work within an overall assemblage, also. Over the past twenty years, I've seen many variations on this "big image made from tiny bits" approach, such as some of Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir videos. Kate Gilmore has been another inspiration for me, but I think her work, as a possible inspiration for you, is more relevant to your videos about the abandoned house on Barton, to your collab with Andrew, and to his home makeover project. I'll try to post comments on other videos about Gilmore's art.
Thank you. So many videos are on technique. I am appreciative of your wider focus. Your joy of research and discovery of how we got to our current point in art history is contagious. Thank you for condensing all your work into this well edited, informative video.
Wow, thank you, Linda! I really appreciate it. It really is fascinating to see what other artists are up to in collage for me! Glad I can share the knowledge!
You need to read David Hockey’s book, “Secret Knowledge” - rediscovering the lost techniques of the old masters (2006 Ed.) Your vid was a cool vid from a young person! Tfs!
So great to have a part 2!, Hockney actually has a studio in my East Yorkshire home town and has been here a few times in recent years,I actually met him a few years ago and he's a fascinating man to talk to,I love that he was a pioneer in how he created his art,using fax machines,polaroids etc. Did you know he was the first arist to create art on an i-phone when they first came out,I love that he paints both digitally and traditionally and collages in the same way. I love the work of all the artists you shared with us,but am going to look more into Martha Rosler and her work. I love Mark Bradfords work,his work also reminds me of Jackson Pollocks work,in that they both have many layers and sense of depth to their work and an energy,but it's the scale of Bradford's work that is so incredible,he's elevated collage to a whole new level for sure. (matt)
Wow, that is so cool you got to meet him. I wouldn't even know what to say 😋 and I did not know he was the first to use the iphone to create, very cool! I'm glad you love all these artists!
Thank you! I learned about collage 10 years ago and I was fascinated! I created some but quit and actually threw it away 😬 I wish I had kept going. I guess I still have time! Such a lovely studio you have ❤
OH NO! That is so sad. The beauty is, if you are inspired to, you can make many more 😉 I'm biased but I love collaging and think everyone would enjoying giving it a try! Thank you ❤
Funnily enough, I know of David Hockney's work from his paintings of pools, his photocollages, and an amazing documentary he made (late 90s/early 2000s?) exploring how artists of the Renaissance used the camera obscura to make super-precise paintings. I had no idea he painted a bunch of paintings of dachshunds!
I don't know the history of the use of "collage" and "photomontage," but the latter is a subcategory of the former. Henri Matisse made collages that are not photomontages.

I saw the documentary a good while ago. It is truly inspiring.
Thanks for your insights! I can't wait to see what his stash looks like 😃
Oh my gosh, yes! Great documentary! His work is amazing!

I'm pretty new to collage but from the artists I have seen so far, Lance Letscher stands out as a master. I can see why he is internationaly known.
Couldn't agree more, it's nice to see a living, breathing, artist!
Fascinating. Thank you

He's got quite the variety of works! I think his paintings of pools technically are his most famous.
Very interesting video! 😀
Glad you think so 😍
