Kurzbeschreibung
Best known for his extraordinary abstract collages, German artist Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) is one of the most influential figures of the international avant-garde. Emphasizing the significance of colour and light in the artist's work and delving into the relationship between collage and painting, this handsome volume accompanies the first U.S. retrospective of the artist's oeuvre in twenty-five years. Affiliated with Dada and the Constructivist movement in the years following WWI, he coined the term merz to describe his ambition to 'make connections, preferably between everything in the world'. Schwitters' merz gave seemingly worthless objects of urban waste - train tickets, newspaper fragments, bits of wire - new life as compositional elements in his installations, assemblages, sculptures and collages. Hoping to unify life and art by incorporating everyday objects into his work, this pioneer of installation art came closest to his ideal with Merzbau, a room-size walk-in sculpture constructed entirely of found materials. Alongside images and analysis of a full-scale reconstruction of Merzbau, this book includes an illustrated chronology and 90 colour plates of Schwitters' assemblages, reliefs, sculptures and collages, with emphasis on merz works from the 1920s and 1940s. The selection not only illuminates the artist's response to the dominant art movements of his time but also illustrates his unique composition and design. Essays by prominent scholars provide new perspective on the artist who created poetry from the commonplace.

The world in a collage

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The catalog for the current Schwitters retrospective at the Menil collection, which will later travel to Princeton and Berkeley, this is a wonderfully illustrated book that adds an in-depth analysis to the already extensive literature on the artist.
The text is divided into three essays, the first studying the importance of color in the works ("there are no uncolored objects" Schwitters said), the second dwelling on Schwitters's working process (here, an interesting comparison is drawn with Rauschenberg and his use of the image,as opposed to Schwitters and his use of the object), and the third focuses on the artist's Merzbau project, a major endeavor that would open as many doors to subsequent artistic movements as Duchamp did..
Above all, I would like to stress the quality of the reproductions, some works being shown here at their actual size.
Highly recommended
