About My Wikipedia Assignment Artist
I chose to write about Wardell Milan and his unique use of collages to make art with meaning. In January/February of 2019, Wardell Milan, while speaking about his art, said in an interview with Jean Dykstra, “I’ve been doing this since I was 10, building cardboard scenes and dioramas. But they really don’t have a presence until they’re lit and the camera is loaded, and the image is taken. That’s when it becomes really magical.” This interview was for his artwork called: Early Spring, The Charming Evening 2014. This piece of art was displayed at The Museum of Contemporary Photography back in Fall of 2018. Wardell Milan is known for being able to use personal and political histories in his collages and brings in figures from politics, art history, and pop culture.
