Collage, Detroit Skyline and the Bob-Lo Boat, 1960-1975
Add to SetSummary
Collages are a type of improvised design, remixing basic materials to create something new. In the 1970s, a child made this collage by organizing squares of construction paper into the shape of the downtown Detroit skyline. The Bob-lo boat, which once ferried passengers to a now-defunct amusement park, is featured here too.
