• Photomontage is the process (and result) of
  making a composite photograph by cutting and
  joining a number of other photographs. The
  composite picture was sometimes photographed so
  that the final image is converted back into a
  seamless photographic print. A similar method,
  although one that does not use film, is realized
  today through image-editing software. This latter
  technique is referred to by professionals as
  "compositing", and in casual usage is often
  called photoshopping

Romare Bearden (1911 - 1988) Spent his youth in
New York, growing up with the Harlem Renaissance
unfolding around him. Studying in Paris and New
York, he became one of Americas premiere artists
of the mid- 20th century. Combining painting and
drawing with scraps of paper and cloth, he
produced a uniquely American take on the collage.
With jazz as much an influence as Picasso and
Braque, Bearden explored themes and stories from
his early rural childhood as well as contemporary
urban life.
