Book

Instruction and inspiration combine in this visually stunning how-to guide on creative collage through a comprehensive explanation of techniques, project ideas, and an abundance of artistic examples by Italian artist Naomi Vona. Creative collage features both step-by-step advice and over 200 full-color examples. Vona provides detailed storyboards through photographs and captions across a range of projects in mixed media on paper and wood. Vona is widely known for her inspiring collages that transform fashion magazine ads into feminist art pieces, questioning conventional notions of beauty and the overwhelming consumerism that supports them. Through paint, collage, and hand-lettered text, Vona creates her own artistic beauty that is subversive, detailed, colorful, patterned, layered, and visually bold. In the fashion magazine section, Vona shares over 200 full-color, full-page illustrations from her Selling Lies series, which reinterprets images from the pages of Vogue. Her visually dense style includes integrated, handwritten text in response to the images she builds upon. The alternately hidden and legible commentary questions notions of physical perfection and the pervasiveness of advertising within the beauty industry. This stunning guide and comprehensive collection of visually layered collage examples makes an excellent gift or collectible for artists, journalers, creative professionals, educators, and students of art history, contemporary art, and feminist studies.
