| Experimenting With Collage |
This eight-week course combines studio
demonstrations of collage techniques with
close study of significant works in MoMA's
collection by masters of collage such as
Pablo Picasso, Joseph Cornell, Hannah Höch,
Robert Rauschenberg, and Mark Bradford.
Taking inspiration from the ways in which
these artists pushed the boundaries of
representation and materials, detailed
demonstrations will show students how to
create their own collages by transforming
fragmented, combined, and recontextualized
objects and images.

new global economy centered in New York; the
revival of Dada; the flowering of Pop art in
