# Neo-Dada carries the structure. Nouveau Réalisme appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Neo-Dada (Style, 1953–1965) and its accent from Nouveau Réalisme (Style, 1960–1970). Structural cues: Ready-made objects brought onto the picture; Printed matter transferred by silkscreen; Forms halfway between painting and object; Traces of erasing, layering and soiling. Accent cues, used sparingly: Layers of posters torn back; Accumulations of identical objects; Compressed industrial products; Material chosen rather than worked. Composition: No grid: a horizontal collage in which one three-dimensional object breaks the picture plane and pulls the eye off axis.. Type and lettering: Mixed sizes and mixed faces from whatever was to hand, some stencilled, some torn out of existing print.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Mass identical real objects, or paste and tear paper so the lower printings show. Mood: Rebellion, Play, Technology, Exhilaration. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Neo-Dada: Pasting readymades alone never shows why they were chosen, and it becomes a shelf of knickknacks. Arranging it tidily strips the dirt and scale the work depends on, and leaves clean decoration.
# - Nouveau Réalisme: Simulating the torn poster with a distress filter: the movement's entire claim is that the material was taken and not made, and a synthetic tear reverses it.
