An Interview with Collage and Typography Maker, Eduardo Recife Follow @Scene360: Comic Fonts and Lettering Armor Piercing BB - Regular, Italic Armor Piercing 2 BB - Regular, Italic Badaboom BB - Regular Badaboom Pro BB - Regular, Italic Agitated Images John Heartfield was a pioneer of modern photomontage. Working in Germany and Czechoslovakia between the two world wars, he developed a unique method of appropriating and reusing photographs to powerful political effect. At a time of great uncertainty, Heartfield's agitated images forecasted and reflected the chaos Germany experienced in the 1920s and '30s as it slipped toward social and political catastrophe. In this climate, communists, Nazis, and other partisans clashed in the press, at the ballot box, and on the streets. The impact of Heartfield's images was so great that they helped transform photomontage into a powerful form of mass communication. Heartfield devised photo-based symbols for the Communist Party of Germany, allowing the organization to compete with the Nazis' swastika.

The Collection Technique by which a composite photographic image is formed by combining images from separate photographic sources. The term was coined by Berlin Dadaists c. 1918 and was employed by artists such as George Grosz, John Heartfield, Raoul Hausmann and Hannah Höch for images often composed from mass-produced sources such as newspapers and magazines. Photomontages are made using photographic negatives or positives. Negative montages are produced in the darkroom by, for example, sandwiching negatives in an enlarger or masking sections of photographic paper. Positive montages are usually made by combining photographic prints or reproductions.

Interview: Eduardo Recife (from MisprintedType) Eduardo Recife was a great inspiration source for me when I first started doing graphics. In my opinion he started something new when he published the first MisprintedType website. You see a lot of his font used in designs out there in the world. 15 stunning motion typography videos Motion typography (or kinetic typography) refers to the art and technique of expression with animated text. Expressing yourself through animated words with graphics can be really convincing and cool to see. Flying, floating, growing, expanding, turning characters is what you'll see in the next minutes. I've selected 15 very nice motion typography movies. DADA - Introduction "Everybody can Dada" —Dada-Fair, Berlin, poster, 1919 Dada blasted onto the scene in 1916 with ear-splitting enthusiasm: rowdy, brazen, irreverent, and assaulting. Its sounds were clamorous, its visions were shocking, and its language was explosive.
ART IN REVIEW; 'Surrealist Collage' Not entirely without justification, Surrealism is often derided as a bogus religion. But the Surrealistic impulse is still very much alive in contemporary art, and there's a good reason: whether or not it reveals mystic truths, the free play with disjunctive, contradictory and paradoxical images, materials and forms has a way of relaxing conventional restrictions on creative imagination. It's useful to bring this more pragmatic notion of Surrealism to this fine show of small neatly made collages from the movement's early years. The 14-artist exhibition abounds in the clichés that help give Surrealism its bad name -- especially images of women stripped bare, dismembered and otherwise abnegated -- but it is also full of zany poetry that can make you laugh while your mind spins. In these, as well as in works by Georges Hugnet and Max Bucaille, the artist seems less a priest of Freudian dogma than a giddy psychic switchboard operator.
Max Ernst Text from Werner Spies, introduction to "Max Ernst: A Retrospective" "The scandals associated with the name of Max Ernst during the early post-war period have become legendary. They were sparked off by radical actions designed to épater les bourgeois to the utmost. Yet the artist's involvement in this type of activity was sporadic and temporary. He once explained why this was so during a visit he and I made in 1967 to the great Dada retrospective in Paris. Being a Dadaist by profession, he said, was a contradiction in terms.

William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877) and the Invention of Photography A young English gentleman on his honeymoon sat sketching by the shore of Lake Como early in October 1833, one eye pressed close to a camera lucida. With this simple draftsman's aid, consisting of an adjustable metal arm fastened at one end to the artist's sketchbook or drawing board and supporting a glass prism at the other, the young man saw a refracted image of the Italian landscape superimposed as if by magic on the pages of his sketchbook. It seemed a simple task to trace the features of the village buildings, lake, and distant mountains with his pencil. But alas, it only seemed simple, he later recalled, "for when the eye was removed from the prism—in which all looked beautiful—I found that the faithless pencil had only left traces on the paper melancholy to behold." The would-be artist was William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877).
