big bad competitive feeling
Cut-paper collage postcard inspired by my musing on the subject of competition.
I like this technique: putting foreground pieces together with background mortar between them, like what masons do in making a stone fireplace. But sorry, friends... I'm not very good at it. I need more practice.
The piece in the upper right corner is from a painting by Francis Picabia. Picabia was a key player in the Dada movement, both in Paris and in New York. He had a lot of money, which he used generously--e.g., printing lots of Dada publications.
If you're into Dada, I have a book to recommend: Destruction Was My Beatrice: Dada and the Unmaking of the Twentieth Century by Jed Rasula. The hardcover price (at Amazon) has plunged to under ten dollars, which gives me the impression it's not going to be in print very long. So act fast! I give it five stars!
