Summary

Pathe synopsis: Art of a less orthodox type is displayed by the school of "Collagists", whose conception of art is to stick various articles on canvas. The list of materials used includes bus tickets, milk bottle tops, burnt paper spills, scrubbing brushes and even half a cricket ball - and you can add to some of these exotic materials a touch of pepper and salt for "texture". The result?...well, you be the judge!
