PPPPPP (Exact Change)»rank: 1097127by: Kurt Schwitters
: :Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948), inventor of his own personal branch of Dadaism called 'Merz,' is best known for his collages and for his monumental constructions called Merzbau.

Kurt Schwitters: Catalogue Raisonne Volume 3 1937-1948 (Catalogue Raisonne)»rank: 1566560by: Kurt Schwitters

Schwitters was constantly sighting scraps of handbills, train tickets, newspapers, clothing, and more on the city streets, pocketing them for later use in one of his Merz collages. His intense body of found object constructions stands as one of the premier examples of the ultimtate modern form, assemblage, of which he has been called the ... |
