Papier collé (French:pasted paper orpaper cut outs) is a type ofcollage and collaging technique in which paper is adhered to a flat mount.[1] The difference between collage and papier collé is that the latter refers exclusively to the use of paper, while the former may incorporate other two-dimension (non-paper) components.[2] As the term papier collé is not commonly used, this type of work is often simply called collage.
Cubist painterGeorges Braque, inspired byPablo Picasso's collage method, invented the technique[3] and first used it in his 1912 work,Fruit Dish and Glass. Braque continued to use the technique in works such asBottle, Newspaper, Pipe, and Glass.
Papier collé is primarily used to refer specifically to the paper collages of the Cubists.[2]
