Collage

The Fifth of Never of Old Near by Jess.  Jess created his own vocabulary for his work.  The collage above would be referenced as a paste-up.Jess was a radio-chemist by profession and dreamed of a nuclear holocaust that would destroy the world in 1975.  This collage has so many different images that I am not able to see an obvious trend.The one stand out image is the girl with the gun hat since there a different colorization.  Some of images give a sense of violence. I am making an assumption that the machines in the bottom half of the picture are portions of a nuclear factory.
