To me - an former photographer - they are montages because they form a continuous whole. If I printed each image individually and pasted them up they would be a collage. It is a continuous whole but made of obviously separate elements which could be separated into individual elements again. If I made tiles of various sizes, shapes and colors and formed them into your image I would call it a mosaic. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race?

You could call them "composites". That works too Best choice IMO/ -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race? Taxes out of hand?

(...) tell a coherent story in a particular way. (Monter is the French verb for getting ready, the way you mount a horse, mount a school exhibition, mount a military operation, etc.) Getting ready? Ehm... no. Monter has the following meanings: to ascend to, to climb, to reach, to increase, to assemble. Mounting a horse (- to ascend) is quite different from mounting a military operation (- to assemble) By extension, a "montage" would be an "assembly" |

replying to dadiOH, Burt wrote:
A collage is a group of images (such as pieces of colored paper) arranged on a background (such as a piece of drawing paper or a canvas). Once the collage is made, it stays the same. Montage is a film or movie term and is a succession of images that change over time. That's the basic difference between collage and montage... . . . -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...vs-744654-.htm |
