Amidst the post-conceptual crisis of the 1970s, British artist John Stezaker chose to neither pursue the agitprop-inspired trends of his British contemporaries nor fully align himself with the Pictures Generation across the pond. Instead he emerged as a singular figure in contemporary photomontage. This is the first monograph to provide a historical account of Stezaker’s life and career, offering insight into his art in the context of prevailing image appropriation techniques from the '70s and ’80s.
