[David P. Dillard]

A true friend of Net-Gold, Sean Grigsby, has been sending us some posts
regarding ASSEMBLAGE ART. I also now notice that Judy Decker has sent
one as well.

My only problem with all this is that I have no clue what assemblage art
is, and I have been watching this short parade of website laden posts go
by wondering what this new to me concept is all about. So in case anybody
else is as uninformed on this matter as yours truly, here is the Wikipedia
article that will start us on the way to a defining moment regarding this
type of art.

Assemblage (art)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Assemblage art)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblage_art>

"Assemblage is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic
composition is made from putting together found objects.

Assemblage is the 3-dimensional cousin of collage. The origin of the word
(in its artistic sense) can be traced back to the early 1950s, when Jean
Dubuffet created a series of collages of butterfly wings, which he titled
assemblages d'empreintes. However, both Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso
had been working with found objects for many years prior to Dubuffet.
They were not alone, alongside Duchamp the earliest woman artist to try
her hand at assemblage was Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, the Dada
Baroness, and one of the most prolific, as well as producing some of the
most exciting early examples, was Louise Nevelson, who began creating her
sculptures from found pieces of wood in the late 1930's."

Here is a source with a definition and a short or brief history of
assemblage art, listing some of these artists with a brief entry for each
as well.

Here are 43 links, some of which probably have been covered in the posts
cited above, these being from the DMOZ Project.

I hope nobody objects to my attempt to draw upon the knowledge of the
internet to learn a definition of assemblage art. I hope that for some
this post will wet their palette to learn more of this art form and for
those more familiar with this art, I hope these posts will facilitate ones
brushing up on their knowledge of this art form. One may need to attend
collage to practice in this specific field.
