Peter Kennard Photomontage



 Peter Kennard was a London painter and drawer who worked under the influences of artists such as Picasso Francis Bacon and Sutherland. He is best known for his photomontage art that show issues like conflict and his images were used in campaigns in the 80's for the nuclear warfare. 





"The point of my work is to use easily accessible iconic images, but to render them unacceptable. To break down the image of the all-powerful missile....after breaking them, to show new possibilities emerging in the cracks and splintered fragments of the old reality."



I really like the idea of Photomontage and like the use of photo and text, colour, and drawing.
