Playing with Pictures: The Art of Victorian Photocollage (Art Institute of Chicago) ReviewI really enjoyed this exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. The creative things that the Victorians did with the cartes de visite that they collected are interesting, amusing, and sometimes surprising. The women (and men) that created these albums took blank pages and painted a backdrop or design to insert the photographs. They have unique themes, one of my favorites being a spider web. There are several juxtapositions that seem almost bizarre (peoples faces on duck bodies). This was the way these photographs were kept and arranged to show and to share with friends. Another of my favorite pages is one that contains a poem... basically stating that if you view this album you should know that your picture will be added to it. I find photocollage to be almost an ancestor to the modern scrapbooking trend, but so much better in that the backgrounds were all hand painted.Playing with Pictures: The Art of Victorian Photocollage (Art Institute of Chicago) Overview
