Pablo Picasso Glass and Bottle of Suze November 1912. A recent reproduction.
Picasso's collage seems to represent the public sphere in some way: the cafe and the newspaper. It also presents us with an image of modernist consciousness. I like Patricia Leighton's use of Charles Baudelaire to describe this image as a "true painting of modern life".
Rodchenko Photomontage For "About This" by Vladimir Mayakovsky 1923

Dialogues in the Cities (2010)
Dialogues in the Cities (The Ecstasy of Communication: After Baudrillard) (2010)
The above pieces are attempts at combining and re-combining text and image and theory and practice. The top image is an unsuccessful combination of photographic imagery and a film still from Hans Richter's Dreams that Money can Buy.
The bottom image presents a series of photographs combined with text from Jean Baudrillard's "The Ecstasy of Communication" from Hal Foster's Postmodern Culture 1987 p.132.
This image is attempt to compress a variety viewpoints and representations into one moment.
