The use of collage as a form of fine art is traced to 1912, when early 20th-century artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began gluing objects onto their paintings. WRTI's Susan Lewis considers the evolution of collage as fine art and as a socially relevant form of personal and political expression.
