Observatory: Design Observer: Toward the end of Collage: The Making of Modern Art, published in 2004, art historian Brandon Taylor posed a critical question. “Has the Internet,” he wondered, “made collage more or less important as an instrument of contemporary aesthetic work?”

In one of my high school art classes we studied Dali and had to make a surrealist collage. I remember thinking it was a lame project because all you, the artist, had to do was cut out and rearrange things someone else created. However, by the end I had a new obsession for collage art. It's awesome to manipulate someone else's art or advertisement to give it an entirely new message. Even the simplest of juxtapositions can hold great meaning or tell a strong story. I don't see it dying out any time soon. Although the internet grows everyday, artists will always treasure creating physical works. In conclusion, collage art is sweet and it's not going anywhere.
