John Stezaker: Film Still

4.12 (8 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): David Campany

An overview of John Stezakers film still collages, this book showcases the evolution of the artists relationship with a specific material.

Leading British collage and appropriation artist John Stezaker began his ongoing series of film still collages in 1979 the result of a period that marked a crucial change in the direction of the artists work, which had previously been centered around a text-based conceptualism.

The series moves with Stezakers changing interests, using stills from classic American-period Hitchcock films as raw material before shifting towards the undistinguishable mass of 1940s and early 1950s low-budget studio films. Featuring collages based on a combination of film still excisions and superimpositions, this ongoing series is catalogued comprehensively for the first time in this volume, which brings together Stezakers earliest film still collages with his most recent.

Full-colour illustrations are accompanied by an essay by David Campany and a conversation between the critic and the artist. John Stezaker (b.1949, Worcester) is one of the leading artists in contemporary photographic collage and appropriation. Employing vintage photographs, old Hollywood film stills, travel postcards and other printed matter, Stezaker creates small-format collages that bear qualities of Surrealism, Dada and found art. Stezaker studied at the Slade School of Art and has taught at the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins School of Art, London. In 2012 he was awarded the Deutsche Börse photography prize following a retrospective at the Whitechapel Gallery, London. His work has been exhibited internationally since the 1990s and is held in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Arts Council England; and Tate.
