[Photo Collage: Musician Playing Horn] 1870 - 1880

This photo-collage, created by Uruguayan artist Juan Pedro Chabalgoity between 1870 and 1880, features a musician playing a horn. The artist uses a unique style of photomontage, where the figure is presented in a playful, disproportionate manner, highlighting the artist's humorous approach. The work is a charming example of 19th-century photocollage, a technique that utilizes photography to create artistic compositions. The image is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
