Summary:
This book explores the work of Kurt Schwitters, Joan Miró, and Hans Arp and the ways in which the artists influenced each others’ artistic pursuits. It examines the artists’ shared commitment to geometric forms over natural ones and their individual strategies for fusing painting and sculpture to mine the depths of assemblage.
