John Stezaker

The possibility to see John Stezaker’s output for over 30 tears of artistic work in real in Whitechapel Gallery was a absolutely amazing experience. His collages are done in surreal and beautiful style in the same time.
The cut is so simple so it seems to be done in three or so minutes, but in fact John worked really hard and had many attempt to juxtaposed everything just right.



I think that two series of images of this British artist are the biggest and the most popular. First is the ‘Marriages’ where Stezaker cut face of men and women and put them together, giving in the same time the new meaning to the images. Second is the ‘Mask’ series where the artist put landscape postcards on the portraits.
Personally I really admire his style, art pieces, the simplicity of the form and cuts.
