7. Collage is the process of pasting bits of newspapers, ribbons and other objects onto paper or canvas. The term "collage" was coined by Picasso and Braque. • Picasso created collages from 1907 to 1914. Although collage is attributed as an extension of sorts to the artist's works done in Cubist style, neither Picasso nor Braque ever indicated what motivated them to begin pasting bits of newspaper and other found objects onto their canvases.

14. From 1912 to 1914, Synthetic Cubist (collage) works emerged from Picasso's canvases. During this time, the artists toyed with the traditional flat picture plane, incorporating both two- and three-dimensional elements, but after 1914 neither Picasso nor Braque worked in collage again.
