Kurt Schwitters

Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) utan titel (1937/1938) 22,7 x 18,1 cm Spengler Museum Hannover
He’d been denied membership in Berlin’s Club Dada for not being “political enough,” so shrugged his shoulders and formed the Dada sub-movement of Merz (a fragment of the word “Kommerz,” taken from a bank’s newspaper advertisement and incorporated into an early piece). Though Merz’ membership was limited to Schwitters, he often collaborated with other Dadaists.

"During his career, Schwitters produced paintings, collages, sculptures and poems. He set up a successful design agency in 1924 and throughout the 1920s edited a magazine, called Merz, which provided a forum for new design ideas."
