Reviewed and fact-checked by Sayantoni Das

With all the hype around Artificial Intelligence - robots, self-driving cars, etc. - it can be easy to assume that AI doesn't impact our everyday lives. In reality, most of us encounter Artificial Intelligence in some way or the other almost every single day. From the moment you wake up to check your smartphone to watching another Netflix recommended movie, AI has quickly made its way into our everyday lives. According to a study by Statista, the global AI market is set to grow up to 54 percent every single year. But what exactly is AI? Will it really serve good to mankind in the future? Well, there are tons of advantages and disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence which we'll discuss in this article. But before we jump into the pros and cons of AI, let us take a quick glance over what is AI.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Before we jump on to the advantages and disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence, let us understand what is AI in the first place. From a birds eye view, AI provides a computer program the ability to think and learn on its own. It is a simulation of human intelligence (hence, artificial) into machines to do things that we would normally rely on humans. This technological marvel extends beyond mere automation, incorporating a broad spectrum of AI skills - abilities that enable machines to understand, reason, learn, and interact in a human-like manner. There are three main types of AI based on its capabilities - weak AI, strong AI, and super AI.

Weak AI - Focuses on one task and cannot perform beyond its limitations (common in our daily lives)

Strong AI - Can understand and learn any intellectual task that a human being can (researchers are striving to reach strong AI)

Super AI - Surpasses human intelligence and can perform any task better than a human (still a concept)

Here's a quick video to help you understand what artificial intelligence is and understand its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence

An artificial intelligence program is a program that is capable of learning and thinking. It is possible to consider anything to be artificial intelligence if it consists of a program performing a task that we would normally assume a human would perform.

While artificial intelligence has many benefits, there are also drawbacks. The benefits of AI include efficiency through task automation, data analysis for informed decisions, assistance in medical diagnosis, and the advancement of autonomous vehicles. The drawbacks of AI include job displacement, ethical concerns about bias and privacy, security risks from hacking, a lack of human-like creativity and empathy.

Let's begin with the advantages of artificial intelligence.

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence

1. Reduction in Human Error

One of the biggest benefits of Artificial Intelligence is that it can significantly reduce errors and increase accuracy and precision. The decisions taken by AI in every step is decided by information previously gathered and a certain set of algorithms. When programmed properly, these errors can be reduced to null.

Example:

An example of the reduction in human error through AI is the use of robotic surgery systems, which can perform complex procedures with precision and accuracy, reducing the risk of human error and improving patient safety in healthcare.

2. Zero Risks

Another big benefit of AI is that humans can overcome many risks by letting AI robots do them for us. Whether it be defusing a bomb, going to space, exploring the deepest parts of oceans, machines with metal bodies are resistant in nature and can survive unfriendly atmospheres. Moreover, they can provide accurate work with greater responsibility and not wear out easily.

Example:

One example of zero risks is a fully automated production line in a manufacturing facility. Robots perform all tasks, eliminating the risk of human error and injury in hazardous environments.

3. 24x7 Availability

There are many studies that show humans are productive only about 3 to 4 hours in a day. Humans also need breaks and time offs to balance their work life and personal life. But AI can work endlessly without breaks. They think much faster than humans and perform multiple tasks at a time with accurate results. They can even handle tedious repetitive jobs easily with the help of AI algorithms.

Example:

An example of this is online customer support chatbots, which can provide instant assistance to customers anytime, anywhere. Using AI and natural language processing, chatbots can answer common questions, resolve issues, and escalate complex problems to human agents, ensuring seamless customer service around the clock.

4. Digital Assistance

Some of the most technologically advanced companies engage with users using digital assistants, which eliminates the need for human personnel. Many websites utilize digital assistants to deliver user-requested content. We can discuss our search with them in conversation. Some chatbots are built in a way that makes it difficult to tell whether we are conversing with a human or a chatbot.

Example:

We all know that businesses have a customer service crew that must address the doubts and concerns of the patrons. Businesses can create a chatbot or voice bot that can answer all of their clients' questions using AI.

5. New Inventions

In practically every field, AI is the driving force behind numerous innovations that will aid humans in resolving the majority of challenging issues.

For instance, recent advances in AI-based technologies have allowed doctors to detect breast cancer in a woman at an earlier stage.

Example:

Another example of new inventions is self-driving cars, which use a combination of cameras, sensors, and AI algorithms to navigate roads and traffic without human intervention. Self-driving cars have the potential to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and increase accessibility for people with disabilities or limited mobility. They are being developed by various companies, including Tesla, Google, and Uber, and are expected to revolutionize transportation.

6. Unbiased Decisions

Human beings are driven by emotions, whether we like it or not. AI on the other hand, is devoid of emotions and highly practical and rational in its approach. A huge advantage of Artificial Intelligence is that it doesn't have any biased views, which ensures more accurate decision-making.

Example:

An example of this is AI-powered recruitment systems that screen job applicants based on skills and qualifications rather than demographics. This helps eliminate bias in the hiring process, leading to an inclusive and more diverse workforce.

7. Perform Repetitive Jobs

We will be doing a lot of repetitive tasks as part of our daily work, such as checking documents for flaws and mailing thank-you notes, among other things. We may use artificial intelligence to efficiently automate these menial chores and even eliminate "boring" tasks for people, allowing them to focus on being more creative.

Example:

An example of this is using robots in manufacturing assembly lines, which can handle repetitive tasks such as welding, painting, and packaging with high accuracy and speed, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

8. Daily Applications

Today, our everyday lives are entirely dependent on mobile devices and the internet. We utilize a variety of apps, including Google Maps, Alexa, Siri, Cortana on Windows, OK Google, taking selfies, making calls, responding to emails, etc. With the use of various AI-based techniques, we can also anticipate today's weather and the days ahead.

Example:

About 20 years ago, you must have asked someone who had already been there for instructions when you were planning a trip. All you need to do now is ask Google where Bangalore is. The best route between you and Bangalore will be displayed, along with Bangalore's location, on a Google map.

9. AI in Risky Situations

One of the main benefits of artificial intelligence is this. By creating an AI robot that can perform perilous tasks on our behalf, we can get beyond many of the dangerous restrictions that humans face. It can be utilized effectively in any type of natural or man-made calamity, whether it be going to Mars, defusing a bomb, exploring the deepest regions of the oceans, or mining for coal and oil.

Example:

For instance, the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power facility in Ukraine. As any person who came close to the core would have perished in a matter of minutes, at the time, there were no AI-powered robots that could assist us in reducing the effects of radiation by controlling the fire in its early phases.

10. Medical Applications

AI has also made significant contributions to the field of medicine, with applications ranging from diagnosis and treatment to drug discovery and clinical trials. AI-powered tools can help doctors and researchers analyze patient data, identify potential health risks, and develop personalized treatment plans. This can lead to better health outcomes for patients and help accelerate the development of new medical treatments and technologies.

Let us now look at what are the main disadvantages that Artificial intelligence holds.

Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence

1. High Costs

The ability to create a machine that can simulate human intelligence is no small feat. It requires plenty of time and resources and can cost a huge deal of money. AI also needs to operate on the latest hardware and software to stay updated and meet the latest requirements, thus making it quite costly.

2. No Creativity

A big disadvantage of AI is that it cannot learn to think outside the box. AI is capable of learning over time with pre-fed data and past experiences, but cannot be creative in its approach. A classic example is the bot Quill who can write Forbes earning reports. These reports only contain data and facts already provided to the bot. Although it is impressive that a bot can write an article on its own, it lacks the human touch present in other Forbes articles.

3. Unemployment

One application of artificial intelligence is a robot, which is displacing occupations and increasing unemployment (in a few cases). Therefore, some claim that there is always a chance of unemployment as a result of chatbots and robots replacing humans.

For instance, robots are frequently utilized to replace human resources in manufacturing businesses in some more technologically advanced nations like Japan. This is not always the case, though, as it creates additional opportunities for humans to work while also replacing humans in order to increase efficiency.

4. Make Humans Lazy

AI applications automate the majority of tedious and repetitive tasks. Since we do not have to memorize things or solve puzzles to get the job done, we tend to use our brains less and less. This addiction to AI can cause problems to future generations.

5. No Ethics

Ethics and morality are important human features that can be difficult to incorporate into an AI. The rapid progress of AI has raised a number of concerns that one day, AI will grow uncontrollably, and eventually wipe out humanity. This moment is referred to as the AI singularity.

6. Emotionless

Since early childhood, we have been taught that neither computers nor other machines have feelings. Humans function as a team, and team management is essential for achieving goals. However, there is no denying that robots are superior to humans when functioning effectively, but it is also true that human connections, which form the basis of teams, cannot be replaced by computers.

7. No Improvement

Humans cannot develop artificial intelligence because it is a technology based on pre-loaded facts and experience. AI is proficient at repeatedly carrying out the same task, but if we want any adjustments or improvements, we must manually alter the codes. AI cannot be accessed and utilized akin to human intelligence, but it can store infinite data.

Machines can only complete tasks they have been developed or programmed for. If they are asked to complete anything else, they frequently fail or provide useless results, which can have significant negative effects. Thus, we are unable to make anything conventional.

AI applications automate the majority of tedious and repetitive tasks. Since we do not have to memorize things or solve puzzles to get the job done, we tend to use our brains less and less. This addiction to AI can cause problems to future generations.

5. No Ethics

Ethics and morality are important human features that can be difficult to incorporate into an AI. The rapid progress of AI has raised a number of concerns that one day, AI will grow uncontrollably, and eventually wipe out humanity. This moment is referred to as the AI singularity.

6. Emotionless

Since early childhood, we have been taught that neither computers nor other machines have feelings. Humans function as a team, and team management is essential for achieving goals. However, there is no denying that robots are superior to humans when functioning effectively, but it is also true that human connections, which form the basis of teams, cannot be replaced by computers.

7. No Improvement

Humans cannot develop artificial intelligence because it is a technology based on pre-loaded facts and experience. AI is proficient at repeatedly carrying out the same task, but if we want any adjustments or improvements, we must manually alter the codes. AI cannot be accessed and utilized akin to human intelligence, but it can store infinite data.

Machines can only complete tasks they have been developed or programmed for. If they are asked to complete anything else, they frequently fail or provide useless results, which can have significant negative effects. Thus, we are unable to make anything conventional.

When you brainstorm an idea, you'll probably visualise the end goal. Imagining what content you'll need to bring that idea to life. Photography, video, maybe even vectors. But have you ever looked at collages as a medium?

Whether you want to express a certain emotion or you want to take your creativity a little further, collage art is a medium that can say a lot in a very creative way.

Many creatives are creating and then scanning collages, and others are digitally creating them. Both types of collage art can be found on Alamy. Fancy creating your own collage? Learn how to in 16 steps.

Where it all began

The word 'collage' derives from the French word 'glue', and was first popularised by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1912. This wasn't the first time the word collage had been used, or even the first time a collage had been created. But this era was when it became mainstream in the art world.

After the first world war, the Dada movement made collage art more popular still. Starting in Switzerland, Dadaists began creating artwork known as photomontages. This art movement resulted in satirical and nonsensical artwork and has been described as a reaction to the horrors of the war.

This period paved the way for collages to become a fundamental part of the art world and is an important moment in history. If the Dada movement hadn't evolved, art today may look very different.

Collages therefore became a form of self-expression for creatives in the 1920s, and some of the greatest artists have dabbled in it - Hannah Hoch, Kurt Schwitters and John Stezaker to name a few.

Kurt Schwitters argues that everyday materials including wood, plasterboard, wheels, cotton are equal in expression to paint itself, suggesting that an artist can use any materials, and it would still be art. Creating a collage is no less an artform than painting a picture.

Sure, you could say that someone is just cutting out some images and sticking them together. But a collage is creativity at its finest. Having to imagine a concept, something that's unrealistic and isn't real, then putting it on paper, using elements to express an emotion or tell a story.

The advances of technology

There are many creatives today creating collages, but with one big difference; they're digitally created.

Technology has advanced a fair bit in the last half a century. It wasn't until the 1980s that the first computer engineers developed a paint program - known as AARON - which allowed creatives to take their art to a new level.

It seems crazy to think that the technology we use today didn't exists 40 years ago. Photoshop would have been like gold in the 1980s.

With such great advances of technology, people today are now creating illustrations, vectors and collages all on screen. On Alamy we currently have over 7 million illustrations, which continues to grow. Our Escape From Reality collection highlights how far creativity has come in the digital world.

Utilising digital collages

Digital collages can be a way for brands to take their creativity just a little further. AND Festival in Liverpool used collages in their recent campaign and brought new life to otherwise disparate objects. The concept is jarring and creates a sense of curiosity.

Women's Wear Daily (WWD) has written on one of their front covers "Nature is blooming all over again for beauty brands," with a collage of a lady surrounded by leaves and flowers emphasising their theme for the issue.

Pinterest are also utilising the benefits of collage art. Each of the predicted trends are now represented by a collage allowing the audience to visually absorb each idea rather than having to read about it, or try to understand it through one photograph.

Should companies be considering collages in their marketing? Yes. Great marketing pulls at the heart strings, and collages are often a form of self-expression which can combine multiple feelings and emotions.

Yes, you can capture the feelings in a photograph, but a collage also does just that. Each piece of the puzzle is specifically placed and considered, creatively telling a story or evoking an emotion.

So if you're working on a creative campaign, or trying to evoke a strong message, maybe collage art is the answer.

Appearing at the beginning of the 20th century, Collage Art began as a form of novelty art. This style explored the incorporation of many different materials that were often glued together, to create a cutting-edge style of craft art that had never been seen before. The aesthetic surrounding Collage Art was described as being pieced together, which enabled the production of utterly unique creations. Viewed under the guise of mixed media, Collage Art typically explored the highs and lows that encompassed the elements of formal art.
The History of Collage Art: An Introduction

Becoming a distinctive part of Modern Art in the early 20 th century, Collage Art described the technique of assemblage that was used within this artistic creation of a new style. Despite the roots of Collage Art being traced back hundreds of years, this art form made a dramatic resurgence and was said to exist as an art form of novelty due to its one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Starting in the Modernist period, before being propelled into the contemporary art world, Collage Art has endured many changes as more artists began to explore it.

Taken from the French word coller, which means to either stick together or glue, the term "collage" described the process that was taken when creating Collage Art. Collage within art was first coined by Cubist artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, who were the first pioneers of this movement. Existing as the first two artists who worked with different mediums in an attempt to make art, Braque and Picasso began their cutting-edge assemblages around 1910.

The first example of Collage Art appeared within Braque's 1912 artwork titled Fruit Dish and Glass, where he glued down imitation wood-grained wallpaper. Following in Braque's footsteps, Picasso began to add newsprint to his oil paintings which made reference to the current events that were taking place, as well as gluing rope around the edge of some canvases. Pioneers of the Collage Art movement, both Braque and Picasso composed their works from glued bits of colored paper, newspaper, and found objects.

A variety of materials, such as paper, cloth, paint, found objects, magazine and newspaper clippings, and sections of other artworks and text were incorporated together before being glued onto a canvas or board to create an entirely new composition. This style essentially brought forth the production of a different form of art, which allowed new types of artworks to be created. These materials were considered to be such a bold intermingling of artistic elements that the return of the collage medium was thought to revolutionize modern art.

Collage Art has been referred to as one form of mixed media art, as many different types exist. The process of collage was viewed as a mixture of both elevated and diminished elements that existed within formal art, with this mixture referring to the traditional definition of art as well as art that was produced for mass consumption and commercial use. Thus, Collage Art existed as a newer form of Modern art due to its combination of elements, which saw many artists employing this popular medium.

From its early roots in both Dadaism and Modernism, Collage Art existed as a medium that was as diverse as it was politically motivated. Due to its emergence after World War One, Art Collage allowed artists to experiment with existing materials such as newsprint, magazines, tickets, propaganda, and photographs in order to create new works of art. These materials were ripped apart and reassembled into visually powerful fusions that interacted together in such a unique way that added to the avant-garde process that encompassed Collage Art.

Through incorporating a variety of materials within an artwork, Collage Art successfully subverted traditional definitions of what was important art. The incorporation of these materials allowed collage artwork to frankly question society's tendency to detach fine art from ordinary objects through juxtaposing elements of high and low culture within works. Whether these compositions were purposeful or random, the comparison created by the contrast of different elements has long captivated the attention of artists.

Since images have the ability to take on new meanings within different contexts, the art of collage was able to easily overturn traditional meanings that were typically associated with art, as well as imply multiple meanings simultaneously. In doing so, Collage Art created works that did not simply fit into a single and rigid analysis. The style of collage held much artistic potential, which in turn made the movement incredibly accessible for all types of artists.

Many innovative artists ranging from the modernism and contemporary era have made use of collage to query the supposedly traditional duty of the artist within the works they created. Through using found and mass-produced objects, images, and materials that were not made by the artists themselves, Collage Art was able to undermine the customary importance that was placed on an artist's hand in the making of their original work.

Thus, Collage Art was adopted to undermine the idea of importance when composing unique and avant-garde works.

Collage Art Influences and Style

Collage describes the technique of creating an artwork through combining and gluing together a wide range of materials onto a surface like a canvas or board. However, the style of collage differs depending on the techniques and materials that an artist uses. For example, photomontage made exclusive use of photos in their artworks; decoupage involved gluing cut colored paper or images onto an object; assemblage referred to a three-dimensional collection of objects, and papiers collés described collages that were made only from bits of paper.

Precursors of Collage Art

The techniques associated with Collage Art were first used in China around 200 BC when paper was invented. The initial style of collage began to slowly come into fashion within 10 th century Japan when calligraphers started to utilize glued paper and texts on surfaces when writing poetry. During the 15th and 16th centuries within Europe, collage techniques were used in Gothic cathedrals when applying gold leaf panels, as well as gemstones and other valuable metals that were applied to religious imagery and icons.

Collage was also seen as a method of art undertaken by hobbyists for a period of time, as this style was used in items of memorabilia, such as photo albums, and books within the 19 th century. However, many institutions have attributed the history of collage and its official beginning within the art sphere to be dated around 1912, when both Picasso and Braque began to experiment with this style in their artworks.

Associated Movements

Within the development and history of Collage Art, many other artistic movements had significant influence. The techniques of collage, which took inspiration from the Cubism movement, became a principal element within both the Dada and Surrealist periods of art. In addition to these areas of art, collage was later represented in the Neo-Dada and Pop Art movement, as different collage techniques were used to explore various subject matters.

Within the contemporary sense, collage artwork was said to begin with Cubist painters Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Cubist collages began experimenting with fragments of different and completely unrelated subject matter to achieve a deconstructed appearance and form. Despite Cubism being mainly associated with paintings, the techniques that Braque and Picasso experimented with within their works allowed them to create collages that were essentially Cubist in nature.

Cubism was able to pair perfectly with the Collage Art movement, as it allowed artists to selectively piece together a picture of their choice from a range of different elements. Due to this style, collage artwork had the ability to refrain from appearing flat, unlike traditional two-dimensional painting. Thus, Cubist collages differ significantly from previous Cubist works, as the added element of collage was able to draw out areas of dimensionality and perspective.

Materials that were frequently utilized in collages by Cubist artists were painted cut-outs, patterned paper, and newsprint. Picasso demonstrated the use of these elements within his 1913 artwork titled Bottle of Vieux Marc, Glass, Guitar and Newspaper, in which he played around with these materials on his artwork. In addition to this work, Braque represented the typical materials used in his Violin and Pipe artwork that he created in 1913.

The Dada movement was inspired by the cutting-edge work that was produced by Picasso and Braque, with artists practicing within this group beginning to play around with collage in the 1920s. Dadaists strayed away from the favored still-life subject matter of Cubism and instead opted to create collages that integrated a wide range of imagery. In doing so, the subject matter in Dada collages typically tended to represent reimagined portraits and figures that were ingrained in fantasy.

The Dada movement arose due to the political turmoil that had engulfed Europe after the First World War, with these anxieties manifesting themselves in the Dadaist collages that were created. Notable artists like Hans Arp, who arrived in Paris in 1914 to avoid being drafted into the German military, saw Picasso and Braque's collages which ultimately inspired him to create his own. By 1915, Arp was exhibiting his Dadaist collage works in a gallery in Zurich.

Dadaists integrated more materials in their collages than their Cubist colleagues. Through combining a variety of elements, artists who created collages within the Dada movement were celebrated for their creative use of presumably worthless and frequently disregarded objects. These items often included magazine cut-outs, candy wrappers, tickets, and various three-dimensional ornaments. Through transforming transient ideas and materials into more refined pieces, Dadaists were able to call into question traditional perceptions of art.

Surrealism

In the wake of the Dada movement, Surrealism also stepped away from the still-life focus of Cubism in favor of experimenting with the elements of collage. Artists began to make extensive use of collage within their works to create fictitious, unusual, and dream-like scenes. Surrealists adapted the cut-and-paste technique of collage to produce works that seemed to be a product of one's subconscious, which allowed truly unique pieces to be created.

These Surrealist collages made use of materials such as illustrations, photographs, colored paper, and paint to expand on the strange subject matter that was adopted within Dadaist collages. Thus, pieces that were reminiscent of strange dream sequences were created. This was seen in the works of Surrealist artists André Breton and Joseph Cornell, who made use of chaotic collage techniques to create coherent yet completely imaginary scenes.

Collage techniques that formed in the Dada era, such as photo-collage, relief assemblage, and overpainting, heavily influenced the development of Surrealist collages. Due to this influence, "collage" no longer solely implied works created with paper and glue. Surrealist artists began expressing an enchantment with text, which they began to incorporate within their collages. The first notable collages examples of this visual and verbal blend are demonstrated in the works of , who used collage in the late 1920s.

The reason that the style of collage differs so significantly from other artistic styles is that it allowed artists the opportunity to add commentary to their work through the inclusion of common images and objects. In doing so, dimension was added to collages, which had the ability to further demonstrate the idea that was being carried forth.

Within contemporary art, many artists displayed a sudden interest in materials such as magazine and newspaper cut-outs, printed words, photographs, dirty cloths, and even metal pieces. This was due to the fact that the inclusion of these elements was able to successfully convey the criticisms and comments that the works implied, which was not previously possible in merely painted works.

The method of collage made the historical and political contexts of the work inseparable from one another, due to the fact that collages typically incorporated mass-produced images within their works. Thus, collage artwork existed as an influential means of social commentary, as its ability to question society's assumptions and biases made it a worthwhile art form that was explored within a variety of other movements.

Notable Collage Artists and Their Collage Examples

Throughout Collage history, many significant collages painting pieces and works were made, which went on to greatly impact the direction of this cut-and-paste method of art creation. Some of the movement's more well-known artists have been listed below, along with their iconic collage works that helped shape the techniques within the movement.

Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954)

Known for his various cut-out collages, Henri Matisse exhibited techniques of collage long after the initial success of the movement. During the late 1940s, Matisse made a significant change in his approach to his artistry and began working with paper during the last decade of both his career and life. Labeling his new creations as "cut-outs", his seemingly simplistic works managed to evoke great complexity as he used gouache paint to stick down different pieces of colored paper in sequences that would often resemble elements of the natural world.

Within his cut-out types of collages, Matisse was most inspired by flowers, plants, animals, figures, and even abstract images. When creating his works, he arranged his cut-outs into energetic and colorful compositions that gradually grew in scale the more he continued to work. This style of artistic creation allowed Matisse to transcend the boundaries associated with traditional easel painting, as it gave him complete freedom to create art in whatever way he wanted to.

One of his notable cut-outs works that displayed his compositional style is his 1953 artwork titled The Sheaf. Matisse cut out a variety of colorful fronds that were thought to mimic a vivid fireworks display, which he then pasted onto a white background. This work, along with his other cut-out works, demonstrated some of Matisse's most expressive creations from his career, as he was able to directly translate his intense emotions into pieces of paper simply by rearranging and pasting them in different compositions.

Within his later artworks, Matisse was able to explore spatial ambiguity through his simple interpretation of forms and shapes. Additionally, Matisse explored the illusion of depth within art through the colorful and lively artworks he created, as the intense hues of the paper he used managed to somewhat avoid coming across as simply two-dimensional.

Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)

Said to be one of the two original pioneers of the Art Collage styles, Pablo Picasso began to experiment with this technique around 1912. Inspired by the works created by Georges Braque, Picasso commenced an intense phase of collage-making, where he was said to have created almost a hundred collages in a short period. His early collage compositions made use of artificial wood-grain paper, text, pieces of cloth, instruments, and other objects.

Picasso created his collages with extreme precision to the point where he was likened to a doctor dissecting a cadaver. An example of one of the first Cubist collages made, as well as one of Picasso's most notable collages, is Still Life with Chair Caning, created in 1912. Within this work, Picasso depicted various views of a café table holding different items, such as a napkin, a knife, a piece of fruit, and a wine glass.

What makes this work so interesting is that instead of painting a chair, Picasso stuck down a piece of oilcloth that was printed with the pattern of the chair caning. Additionally, he used a length of rope to frame the canvas. Both elements were utilized for their suggestive nature, as the cloth implied a physical chair, while the rope was a humorous take on the usually carved edge of a table.

By including the letters "Jou" at the top of his work, Picasso managed to seamlessly incorporate both wordplay and visual elements into his work. In doing so, his collages forced viewers to examine their own perceptions of what constituted an artwork, as well as the relationship that existed between and common objects. Within his later works, Picasso mastered the style of collage as his pieces famously mixed high and low culture, which had a notable impact on the subsequent development of art within the 20 th century.

Georges Braque (1882 - 1963)

Creating Collage artwork at the same time as Picasso, Georges Braque is considered to be the other original pioneer of Collage Art. Within his seminal works, he combined pieces of fake wood wallpaper into his Cubist depictions of objects. After buying a roll of wood-grain wallpaper that he found in a shop window, Braque began to cut and paste this paper into his various drawings. It was this technique that he shared with Picasso, which prompted him to begin experimenting with collage alongside Braque.

Braque's most influential example of collage art is his 1912 artwork titled Fruit Dish and Glass. Within this work, he stuck down pieces of the faux-wood wallpaper he found. In doing so, Braque created intersecting areas of collage elements and drawing within his work, which successfully called into question the formal ideas of perspective and space within art. Despite combining two seemingly juxtaposing elements, Braque's work still suggested pieces of a tabletop and door.

Within Braque's collage work, he explored the perception of space, which is what his Cubist works and the movement as a whole emphasized. While his addition of glued-on bits of wallpaper emphasized a shallower space to investigate the idea of space, this collage element allowed a greater exploration of the feeling of shapes and how they related to one another. Thus, the artistic methods Braque's demonstrated in his collages became fundamental within the growth and expansion of the collage technique as a whole.

Hans Arp (1886 - 1966)

Another influential artist within the Collage Art movement was Hans Arp. His collages were essentially Dadaist in nature, as he was profoundly affected by the insanity and trauma of war. In the aftermath of the First World War, Dada artists felt that traditional social systems and the focus they placed on reason were responsible for the war, and because of this, they sought to create art that was free from all rational reason and deliberate tactics. Thus, the collages that Arp created embodied this way of thinking.

One of Arp's most notable collage works, created in Zurich between 1916 and 1917, was Untitled (Collage with Squares Arranged according to the Law of Chance). This abstract collage was made up of a drawing that Arp had previously been working on but later disregarded. He then tore the pieces of blue and white paper into squares of various sizes, which he let fall to the floor. Once the paper had landed in arbitrary places, Arp pasted each scrap where it was to create a work that rested upon the random chance of gravity.

Through leaving the creation of this collage completely up to chance, Arp adhered to the new anti-art style that was established which avoided the traditional ideas of artistic talent. Arp's Untitled collage was resolutely devoid of any further essence, as it simply consisted of torn scraps of paper that did not express any story or picture. However, it can be argued that Arp did not fully abandon control within this work, as the grid-like arrangement of his collage points to a form of structure that was subtly incorporated into the work.

Kurt Schwitters (1887 - 1948)

A significant contribution to the development of Collage Art was made by Kurt Schwitters, who began working on his influential collages in 1918. These works were made from paper and were constructed from rubbish that Schwitters had found on the street. His aim within his collage art was to create works that were able to embrace all different types and styles of art.

Existing as another Dada artist, Schwitters produced collages and assemblages under the title of "Merz", which was a concept he formulated. This concept included works that combined all possible materials for purely artistic reasons, as he argued that common and found objects such as wood and plasterboard were equivalent to paint and other formal artistic elements. Thus, one of Schwitters' most well-known works, created in 1921, included a variety of elements and was titled Merz Picture 32A, The Cherry Pie.

Within this multilayered artwork, Schwitters created this collage from different pieces of debris and objects that he had collected on the streets of his hometown in Germany. Schwitters' method of collection differed vastly from the actual creation of this work, as he purposely chose a spot and meticulously glued and nailed down each item to a painted board. Areas of light and dark were created through the cut-outs, fabrics, and candy wrappers that were used, as the combination of these materials helped create a sense of pictorial depth.

When considering Merz Picture 32A, the chaotic nature of the different elements used by Schwitters helped evoke the idea of a bulletin board full of notes and cards. The inclusion of the child's flashcard with the cherry helped blur the boundary that existed between ordinary objects and painting, in addition to adding to the transparent title of the work. Thus, Schwitters managed to create a collage that was completely disorganized and confusing, which subscribed to the Dada notions of the time.

Hannah Höch (1889 - 1978)

An influential female artist who experimented within the Collage Art movement was Hannah Höch, who created some of the most iconic works from the collage period. Höch started to create collages as a young girl and brought her child-like techniques of sticking the wrong head on the wrong body into her works as an adult. Within her works, Höch investigated gender roles and politics, as she created a commentary that challenged the way society was structured and viewed itself.

Her most well-known work was created in 1919 and was titled Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany. Höch's work was very politically charged, as she repositioned images and text from the mass media to criticize the shortcomings of the Weimar German Government in the aftermath of the First World War.

Within her artwork, a seamless fusion is demonstrated between Höch's ideas and techniques, as she made use of newspaper cut-outs to call into question the sexist and racist rules that supported Weimar Germany at the time. Höch's work shows an image of Weimar society with its chief establishment and anti-establishment figures in and amongst industrialized disorder. This work was later exhibited at Berlin's First International Dada Fair in 1920 and was a great success due to its transparency.

Höch created these photomontages for the remainder of her career, as she believed that there was no true limit on the types of materials that could be used to make up a collage. Through pioneering a form of art that made use of fashion magazine cut-outs, illustrated journals, and photography, Höch demonstrated that art could be made up from the ordinary chaos of modern life. Her work challenged racism and the place of women in 20 th century society, which later influenced contemporary artists such as Cindy Sherman.

Collage Art in Other Forms

The development of Collage Art allowed the techniques that were created and refined to cross the boundaries of visual arts into other artistic spheres. Some of the most well-known areas, amongst many others, where elements of collage have been incorporated include architecture, music, and film.

Architecture

Although the pioneers of modern architecture used techniques that were closely related to collage, the theoretical concept of collage only became widely discussed after architects Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter published Collage City in 1978. While they were not advocating for collage in the graphic sense, Rowe and Koetter attempted to challenge the uniformity of Modernism through using the non-linear and disorganized ideals of collage.

Thus, collage within architecture was seen as a metaphor to revitalize the design practice.

The style of collage has also made its way into the development of music. In the last half of the 20 th century, the strides that were made in terms of the advancements in recording technology allowed innovative artists to start experimenting with the techniques of cutting and pasting within music production.

A notable group who made use of collage styles within their music was The Beatles. During the 1960s, English producer George Martin worked extensively with the band and created collages of the recordings from their albums. Additionally, in 1967 the cover for their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band made great use of collage techniques.

The Legacy of Collage Art

Thus, it was said that collages painting and artworks were predominantly used to address a variety of issues, due to the technique's ability for vast social commentary.

Tips for Making Your Own Collage

Have you ever wondered what is a collage and if anyone can make one? While this type of art creation may seem daunting at first due to its chaotic and disorganized nature, the art of collage is entirely possible for anyone to experiment with. However, before constructing your own collage, here are two tips to consider when starting out with this cut-and-paste style.

Collect and Create Your Own Source Material

When making your own collage, it will be beneficial to start developing a library of different collage materials for you to choose from. In doing so, you will be able to peruse through what you already have when starting a new collage before having to go out to buy new items.

Some old items that can be kept to utilize within collages at a later stage include old books, photographs, clothing, and recycled paper. Additionally, you can also choose to create your own unique source materials when working on your collage. This can be done by painting pieces of paper and then cutting them up into any shape you want.

Organize Your Composition Prior to Gluing It Down

Before you permanently attach your materials to your backing, it would be wise to take some time out to plan your composition. Collage differs from two-dimensional mediums as allows you to arrange your elements in any way that you want to within your artwork. Take advantage of this medium's flexibility by experimenting with different compositions before committing to the final look.

If you are a beginner to this medium, it is suggested to focus on one or two of the basic elements at first so as not to be overwhelmed. These elements include line, color, form, shape, or texture. If you find that your composition has too many elements, try restricting the number of materials you are working with until you are satisfied with the outcome.

Throughout Collage history, the works that were created were deeply referential of the political climate that existed at the time. Thus, the style of collage proved to be a suitable medium for social commentary, as it allowed artists to abandon the formal elements that had previously governed art in order to create works that honestly represented modern society. In essence, Collage Art blatantly questioned the ideals that made up an artwork, whilst offering a reflection on the change and upheaval that characterized the 20th century.
