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.
