Pasting on a smile for the daily Zoom meeting, as embodied in this evocative collage by John Stezaker. The British artist is a master of montage, known for his Surrealist-inspired combinations of found images, ranging from vintage postcards, to black-and-white actor headshots, to antique pornography. His reconfigurations frequently beg psychological interpretation—be it the deliberate placing of a gaping landscape between two embracing lovers or, as seen here, the overlaying of a grin upon an anxious frown.
