Surrealist Salvador Dali is no doubt one of the most influential painters of the 20th century and is most well known for his work with oil on canvas including his paintings The Persistence of Memory and his much acclaimed Hallucinogenic Toreador, but Dali also employed the use of collage methods on numerous occasions to great effect. Here are a few examples of his work which incorporate collage elements. (For more by Salvador Dali, don’t miss Dali’s Adventures In Wonderland at Uncommon Nonsense)

Troubles: The Art of Phoebe Marie

Troubles

Troubles by Phoebe Marie (http://www.kindalikeanartist.com)

“Like Paul Westerberg sang it, I’m “kinda like an artist.” but when I think about what a true artist is to me, I think of my Grandpa Joe. He was an artist and I basically grew up in his studio, sitting next to him at this gorgeous hardwood drafting table that was covered in ink splotches. He always had these holes in the elbows of his sweaters from where he leaned on the desk while he was working. Everything he made was meticulous and beautiful, but he almost never signed anything. He just had this stamp with his initials, JPW, and the latin phrase “plus pulchritudinis invenire,” which translates loosely to “more beauty to discover”. I always loved that – not just the phrase, but that he didn’t feel the need to sign shit. No ego. No pretense. He just made stuff. Discovered beauty.” – Phoebe Marie
