Description
Kurt Schwitters: A New Perspective This richly illustrated book offers a fresh assessment of Kurt Schwitters' oeuvre, one of the most influential artists of the interwar European avant-garde. Active in multiple fields, Schwitters is best known for his collages and assemblages made from found objects, which he described as having lost all contact with their role and history. Graham Bader carefully unpacks the meaning behind Schwitters' projects, shedding new light on the tumultuous historical conditions in which they were made. The book reframes our understanding of Schwitters' multifaceted artistic practice, exploring the complex entwinement of art, politics, and history in the modern period. Through this authoritative account, a new perspective on Schwitters emerges - one that reveals an artist aesthetically committed and politically astute for our time.
