Adriana Katz's collages denote the influence, almost as a tribute, of the photomontages of the Russian constructivists, the prounen of El Lisitski..., dabbling in other series in the "decollage" practiced in the 50's by artists of the New Realism. In this way, he reviews from his singular prism different avant-garde reinventions of gluing, decollage, geometrical abstraction, etc.
