1967, here we come!

The authors give a lot of suggestions for beginning to work with collage and assemblage. Most of the illustrations are black-and-white photos of the authors' works, or from their unidentified students, and though there are a few b & w examples of Kurt Schwitters' work, this is more a work for playing. The samples are remarkably dated, but it has its charm, especially as a glimpse into a hip-mainstream mid-60s sensibility. The examples aren't intimidating, and the couple of pages of technique (e.g., supports, adhesives, paints & varnishes, tools) is enough get you going, though a trip to your local independent art store will be helpful to learn about the advancements in products over the past 40 years.
