Hello, I am not convinced that words like mosiac and collage should be co-opted for this specific sub-section of artwork that you are asking about. Here are my thoughts: I have studied Chinese painting and wish that I had written my thesis proving that the Chinese masters inspired the European impressionists. This work that you are describing feels like a modern take on impressionism, pointalism, and the like. Chuck Close was not the first person to create pixelated artwork (that's a way to describe it) - but he did inspire the commercial craze of creating images that are composed of smaller, individual images. Why create a word when you can just describe them that way? Please also check out the work of Ayakoh Furukawa. see the "Text Drawing" section of her website: http://www.ayakohfurukawa.net/ . This work is described by her galleries as text-based drawing. -- Sara Henderson, Assistant Director Asian American Arts Centre 111 Norfolk St. NY, NY 10002 o: 212.233.2154 c: 347.464.8398 artasiamerica.org On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 11:56 AM, Haines, Annette <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > In addition to Jill’s suggestions, perhaps the term mosaic? > > Annette Haines > Art & Design Field Librarian > University of Michigan > > > > On 1/21/10 11:15 AM, "Jill Timm" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > I would call that a collage, or if all photos, a photo collage. > > > > Jill Timm > Mystical Places Press > www.mysticalplaces.com > Publisher of Artist Book News > www.artistbooknews.com > > > -----Original Message----- > > I'm hoping that the collective wisdom of arlis colleagues will have an > answer to this: I've been trying to find examples of images or drawings > where the image, perhaps a face or figure, is made up of multiples of small > images like letters, words, or figures, etc. Is there a term or label for > such images?
