✦内容简介——

一本插图精美的拼贴画全球史，从纸张的起源到今天

虽然拼贴画的出现通常被认定为二十世纪，当时它是现代艺术家青睐的媒介，但它的开端与公元前 200 年左右中国纸张的发明有关。后续形式出现在十二世纪的日本，当时的彩绘手抄本将书法诗歌与撕碎的彩色纸张结合在一起。在近代早期的欧洲，拼贴画被用于记录和整理植物标本馆、植物标本和其他知识体系。在十八和十九世纪，拼贴画与亲密关系和家庭感情的表达紧密相关。《碎片形式》以全新的全球视角审视世界上古老、持久的文化表达方式，追溯了拼贴画从古代起源到如今作为讲故事和探索身份的有力工具的丰富历史。

弗雷娅·高利 (Freya Gowrley) 以广阔的视角呈现拼贴画和艺术史，探索当重叠的碎片形式相互对话时会发生什么。她研究了从朝圣者的遗物和维多利亚时代的海藻相册到巴勃罗·毕加索和乔治·布拉克的现代主义拼贴画以及费思·林戈尔德 (Faith Ringgold) 探索非裔美国人身份的拼贴画等各种作品。高利研究了匿名和不知名艺术家的作品，他们的名字因意外或被排斥而被历史遗忘。《碎片形式》展示了数百幅精美的图像，展示了使用现成物品是这种独特艺术形式的重要特征，并展示了拼贴画是一种包容性的媒介，它为几个世纪和不同文化的边缘化社区和艺术家发声。

A beautifully illustrated global history of collage from the origins of paper to today

While the emergence of collage is frequently placed in the twentieth century when it was a favored medium of modern artists, its earliest beginnings are tied to the invention of paper in China around 200 BCE. Subsequent forms occurred in twelfth-century Japan with illuminated manuscripts that combined calligraphic poetry with torn colored papers. In early modern Europe, collage was used to document and organize herbaria, plant specimens, and other systems of knowledge. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, collage became firmly associated with the expression of intimate relations and familial affections. Fragmentary Forms offers a new, global perspective on one of the world’s oldest and most enduring means of cultural expression, tracing the rich history of collage from its ancient origins to its uses today as a powerful tool for storytelling and explorations of identity.

Presenting an expansive approach to collage and the history of art, Freya Gowrley explores what happens when overlapping fragmentary forms are in conversation with one another. She looks at everything from volumes of pilgrims’ religious relics and Victorian seaweed albums to modernist papiers collés by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and quilts by Faith Ringgold exploring African-American identity. Gowrley examines the work of anonymous and unknown artists whose names have been lost to history, either by accident or through exclusion.

Featuring hundreds of beautiful images, Fragmentary Forms demonstrates how the use of found objects is an important characteristic of this unique art form and shows how collage is an inclusive medium that has given voice to marginalized communities and artists across centuries and cultures.
