Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] term for a
type of drawing or graphic image?
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.

I would call that a collage, or if all photos, a photo collage.

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? Or a more precise description for them? If you can point me to any examples, or names of artists (probably graphic artists in advertising or commercial art?), I would appreciate it. Kathy Zimon
