Collaged Pointillism

.
When I view works that are all about the division of the picture plane into smaller, mostly equal units , I tend to categorize them as pointillist works. The original Pointillists had a specific agenda that we tend to keep within narrow boundaries, but Postmodern Pointillism on the other hand embraces a wide and varied field of artists, each with their own agenda who probably don't even identify themselves with the term. This is another facet of Postmodern Pointillism as interpreted through collage.

"Grounded" 2008, Collage on Panel 24" x 24"
And a beautiful interpretation it is ! The image, by Glenn Fischer, is from his Web Site. How fascinating to go through his Archives and see how he has gradually come to this point. It's a beautiful oeuvre that you'll enjoy viewing. Whether you like collage, abstracts or pointillism, you'll be quite pleased.
