Pastiche: Team MCJ^2

Pastiche is reprised elements that are put together either to signal a past or make a point. It can be a melody of different materials and it can also create a sense of nostalgia.

Goines made the pastiche in 1973 as a present for a restaurant in San Francisco celebrating it's second birthday. It was often popular with it's sensibility long before it reached it's target audience. It appears familiar to people yet it's in a new and familiar way.

This is one example of pastiche. It shows the combination of materials to make one image. ->
It seems to be pleasant and draws the attention.

 It suggests a primal effect it has on the people way before the target audience was born and the power of pastiche can evoke from others.

This shows a knight playing chess with a dragon. It shows the combination of both irony and it seems familiar to the audience.

Pastiche was used for telegraphing codes, advertisement, and much more. Usually pastiche began with no form or look to inspire the visual movement that lead to the way pastiche is now. Now a days though pastiche is both used and abused in many ways.

The image shows two famous paintings put together to make it one cohesive image. It also creates flow from one picture to another.

Again this image shows a combination of different images to make one image, but there's a good theme going on in this image. The colors went together and it seems nostalgic.
