Femmage

femmage

Femmage is a type of collage with a female aesthetic made by women out of collected scraps of material.

Femmage is a term used to describe an art form characterized by the use of collage particular to women's work such as patchwork and paper scraps, long before artists like Picaso became accredited to the collage aesthetic.

Also during the '70s, Schapiro began to theorize what she called “femmage,” or a type of art that collaged materials like cloth, paint, and fabric—items which had long been associated with women's activities in the home.
