a construction of photographic images
Photomontage explains a whole range of movements, artistic techniques, modern manipulations, graphic design work etc. The requirements for this type of technique is usage of materials, such as : Newspaper, Tickets, Magazines, Photos, Catalogues, Hand drawing types, letters etc.. These materials have the will & power to create beautiful artworks with a theme and some that don't have a theme, surrealistic, Juxtaposed. Taking for instance constructivism, that use photomontages and bold type with 3 colour tones - Black, White & Red, can create a Graphic Design element : a magazine (editorial), a poster, maybe packaging by using cut outs.
Photomontages are divided into 2 parts of centuries : the Bauhaus, DADA, Constructivism & then there is the Modern technology period : Photoshop as a digital use, there are still that use collages, it is another technique of a photomontage, note that Pablo Picasso started the first Collage and it influenced many artists and Designers.

The constructivists always used the 3 colours that assemble their iconic artworks, the elephant photomontage - Have you visited the Zoo? is a propaganda poster to attract people's attention, they even took care of the colours, the Red background gives away attention. The DADA poster gives away that feeling of an explosion, a feeling of a bomb falling from a fighter war plane. The last poster, the constructivist head with a world on his head and planes circling around it is visually attractive. Using juxtaposed images to create a surrealist art piece. | |
