The collage

There is something about most collage work which feels to me uninspiring. I don't mean to dismiss the long tradition of collage.  Its one good way to use an image created for one purpose and essentially rip it from its   natural surroundings and drop it into unknown territory for another sometimes completely different purpose.  You could even liken it to Frankenstein's monster.
 This being said, when I look at artwork in museums, I'm  often times searching for inspiration.  I was intrigued by the work at the AIC but not inspired.  I specifically liked the posterior series.  It seemed a part of a common theme throughout most of the pictures at the show.  I will never think of a statue in the same way again. It was less his use of the images and more his poetic but assertive rhetoric that won me over.
