Collage

From 1934 until his death in 1950, he produced nearly 400 collages. He used the medium to construct poetic realities and dreamscapes. Many of the compositions use the female body, not necessarily as the subject matter but ‘rather the raw material, the grammar from which Teige makes lyrical or political or emotional statements’. Taken from 'K A R E L T E I G E: Photomontaged Dreams, Landscape and the female nude in Teige's collages by Mark Hearld in the Central Europe Review.
