Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) is one of the most influential protagonists of the avant-garde, both as an artist and an author. With his utopia of the "total Merz vision of the world" he aimed at the "unification of art and non-art". The art of assemblage and material art reached its first high point in his work; his "Merzbau" is regarded as a forerunner of present-day installations."Everything was in ruins in any case, and it was a matter of rebuilding something new from the fragments. But that is MERZ." One hundred years ago, after the end of the First World War, Kurt Schwitters declared the syllable "Merz" to be a word mark for his one-man movement and thereby propagated his wide-ranging creative work in almost all areas of art, literature and typography. The expression stands for a concept of the greatest possible unreservedness and artistic freedom in the choice of forms of expression. In Schwitters's compositions, apparently worthless things are resurrected and open up rich fields of association in new interactions. Merz art is abstract and characterised by the way it crosses borders within the media. For example, the "Merzbau" was created in Hannover between Dada and Constructivism, This total work of art originally extended across a number of rooms and has been reconstructed in the Sprengel Museum inHannover. The publication provides an introduction to the Merz art of Kurt Schwitters and draws on the wealth of material to be found in the artist's estate, which is the subject of recent research.Designed by the award-winning graphic artist Marion Blomeyer. Best known for his extraordinary abstract collages, Kurt Schwitters is one of the most influential figures of the international avant-garde. This volume emphasizes the significance of colour and light in the artist's work, as well as delving into the relationship between collage and painting.

"The oeuvre of photographer Ernst Schwitters (son of Kurt Schwitters), who lived in Norway from 1937 to 1940 and from 1945 until his death in 1996, is still largely unknown today. As a child growing up in Germany, Ernst Schwitters acquired basic skills in photography, documenting many of his father's works. In 1929, a visit from Man Ray opened his eyes to avant-garde experimentation, and he went on to develop the technique of the classical photogram. Soon afterward, he began to show his abstract works internationally. In the late 1940s and 50s he was regarded as one of Norway's leading photographers. This first broad overview of Schwitters's work is comprised primarily of previously unpublished photographs. In addition to photograms from the early 30s, there are architectural and industrial photographs, nudes, and Norwegian landscapes."
