A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. This is more of a photomontage. Modernist collage began with Cubist painters Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Many artists have used the technique including Enrico Baj, Joseph Cornell, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Mimmo Rotella and Kurt Schwitters. Drawings made by Stephen Andrews during a performance of Christopher Fry's play, The Lady's Not For Burning at the Globe Theatre (now the Gielgud), 1950 were commissioned by John Gielgud. Christopher Fry received two and each of the cast was given one. Andrews gave the remaining six drawings to the V&A Museum. See less
