John Stezaker - English Conceptual Artist








British artist John Stezaker is fascinated by the lure of images. Taking classic movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations, Stezaker makes collages to give old images a new meaning. By adjusting, inverting and slicing separate pictures together to create unique new works of art, Stezaker explores the subversive force of found images. Stezaker’s famous Mask series fuses the profiles of glamorous sitters with caves, hamlets, or waterfalls, making for images of eerie beauty.

John Stezaker attended the Slade School of Art in London in the 1960s.[1] In the early 1970s, he was among the first wave of British conceptual artists to react against what was then the predominance of Pop Art
