Jonah And Whale Bible Print by Mike Segal

The painting depicts the Bible story of Jonah and the Whale. The original design for this print was made by the use of a collage study which I made while teaching an art class to home schooling students. Most of my paintings begin as pen and ink sketches, which I develop through many studies into the definitive design. However sometimes I use colored paper and scissors to make a collage and use that as the beginning point.

The early abstract, and cubist painters, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Louis Marcoussis, Francis Picabia, Fernand Leger, and Stuart Davis, just to mention a few, used collage as a study medium to arrive at their earliest cubist and abstract paintings. Often they would cut up pieces of wall paper, fabric, and newspaper to create the compositions for their designs.
