Cut And Paste: A History of Photomontage
Cut And Paste: A History of Photomontage
Several of the artists connected with the Pop Art movement used magazine photos and text to convey the ethos of the age. At this time, and to an extent in response to the increasing populism of art, advertisers jumped on the bandwagon and started to produce more photomontages, a trend that continues to this day.

A great source for representations of photo - montage can be seen at OOM Gallery, it presents the work of Pogus Caesar a film director and artist. Caesar’s montages tends to look at cultural imagery. However the interest for me is how a film makers eye can view existing work from a extreme angle and change the focus completely. For example Caesar’s piece ‘when there’s nothing left to do’ conjours up notions of desire, sexuality and historical imbalance. As a body of work Caesar’s art responds!
