photomontage is a flexible and versatile technique in the field of artistic creation, capable of combining different images to create new and visually striking compositions. Artists have been using this technique for more than a century, but it still deserves to be explored in depth as a form of expression. This paper traces the development of image montage and examines its use in contemporary art, focusing on its ability to express complex ideas and emotions. Based on examples from a range of artists, it is illustrated that image montage offers a unique means of expression that allows artists to create complex, layered works that challenge traditional notions of art and representation. Through careful analysis of specific works, the article explores the ways in which photomontage can be used to explore themes such as identity, memory, and history, and how it can be used to express emotions and ideas that are difficult to capture in other media. The article also discusses the ethical considerations that arise from the use of ready-made images in image montage and how artists can navigate these challenges while creating powerful and meaningful work. Overall, the art of image montage offers a rich and complex form of expression for contemporary artists. By combining different images, its potential as a form of expression is undeniably explored and revealed, and it is an increasingly important tool for artists seeking to create powerful, visually arresting work.
