Original typical decollage realized by the Pop Italian artist Rotella.  The idea of décollage was born during a period of "artistic crisis" of the artist when Rotella was in the USA and  he was in contact with members of the New Dada movement; when he went back to Rome  he was inspired by the posters around the town and began carrying them in his studio to work on them.

Domenico "Mimmo" Rotella  (Catanzaro,  1918 – Milan,  2006) was an Italian artist  considered one of the most important figures in post-war European art. Well-known for his décollages  and psychogéographics,  realized with torn advertising posters. He was associated to the Ultra-Lettrists  an offshoot of Lettrism  and later he became a member of the Nouveau Réalisme, the important French movement founded in 1960.
