Photomontage
Manipulation of the photograph is as old as photography itself. Fox Talbot`s photogenic drawing`, one of the earliest photographic processes, developed during the 1830s, involved the direct contact printing of leaves, ferns, flowers, drawings, and was rediscovered and put to use with an almost infinite repertoire of objects by Man Ray, Christian Schad and Moholy-Nagy in their `photograms` of the 1920s.
