Description
-
For almost 40 years, beginning in the early 1960s, New York artist John Evans (b. 1932) produced a collage each day, cutting and pasting the fragments of the day onto the painted pages of his diary. Evans used stamps, labels, photographs, fabric and found objects, creating a visual and material record of the last four decades of the 20th century.
