This Full Color and some Black and White images of the amazing art of Kurt Schwitters. 190 pages of images of items from Ernst Schwitters and many of contributors. If you are not familiar with Schwitters work, he was part of the German Dada movement, his use of cut up technique and assemblage art was a life style. He built and lived in a world in which he created Merz. There are images of his house that he converted the interior to his assemblage art. Most of his art during the outbreak of WWII was destroyed and lost, only images and memories were left. Along with many other Dada and Surrealist artist, Schwitters was considered a Degenerate Artist a label applied to many artist of the Nazis. A frightening time and in many ways and so sad, we are back to this fervor.
