The "collage" that wasn't a collage. I came across this beautiful image last night in my piles. I had totally forgotten about it. It is from an Italian cultural magazine called "Scena Illustrata", from the early 20th century. Rather than use it as an element in one of my collages, I decided to "simply" mat and frame it. It's a real beauty! I'm giving it to my wife for Valentine's Day. It'll be a perfect addition to her art collection. Interestingly, if you look closely, you will see what I think is a blemish in the painting. Right under the "r" and "a" of "Illustrata", is what appears to be a couple smudges of the yellow paint.
