\n\u2014 Lucio Valerio Pini, Rome, Italy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a moment of exuberance, I made the following comment on a social network: \u201cCollage has become a universal human language that transcends other cultural and semantic limitations.\u201d <\/p>\n

Some who saw it may not have fully agreed. At least one person shared the opinion that my statement \u201csounds like hyperbole.\u201d Perhaps. Nevertheless, if one looks with care at what I wrote, there is nothing inaccurate or misleading about it (Would this not be true about almost any art form, whether it be sculpture, music, or dance?), and I have no better way to explain my ongoing weekly \u201cconversation\u201d with hundreds of collage artists worldwide whose other languages I cannot read.<\/p>\n

As if to illustrate my proposition, I received a message and some bold images from an Italian artist making a connection beyond our mutual language barrier. I do not know anything about his age, experience, or circumstances, but my sudden awareness of his dynamic work exemplifies an exciting international cross-pollination taking place among current practitioners of collage.<\/p>\n

Continue to refine your artistic voice, Lucio, and keep reaching out to those of us who value, in the words of Kurt Schwitters, \u201ccreating relationships, preferably between all things in the world.\u201d
