John Stezaker;s work was shown at The Whitechapel Gallery in March. The images, which are comprised of found photographs, movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations, are designed to give new meaning to the original work.
The show includes over 90 works ranging from the 1970s until today, including the 'Mask' series fusing together the profiles of glamorous sitters with caves, hamlets or waterfalls.
The 'Dark Star' series turns publicity portraits into cut-out silhouettes, while the 'Third Person Archive' removes single figures from travel illustrations and presents them on their own.
British artist John Stezaker was born in Worcestor and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London.

There are no references to the lecture on this exhibition - take a look at my blog and UEL plus for some reading references. Some passion in your critique would also be good and perhaps all the blogs would be visually stronger if the images were before the text. Did you see the exhibition?This can also be listed at the bottom.
