Active as an artist, designer, publisher, performer, critic, poet, and playwright, Schwitters is best known for intimately scaled, materially rich collages and assemblages made from found objects-often refuse-that the artist described as having lost all contact with their role and history in the world at large. Considering works reaching from Schwitters's earliest collage-based pieces of 1918-19, through his 1920s advertising designs, to his seminal environmental installation the Merzbau, Graham Bader carefully unpacks the meaning behind such projects and sheds new light on the tumultuous historical conditions in which they were made. In the process, he reveals a new Schwitters - aesthetically committed and politically astute-for our time. This authoritative account reframes our understanding of Schwitters's multifaceted artistic practice and explores the complex entwinement of art, politics, and history in the modern period. 600 10 $a Schwitters, Kurt, $d 1887-1948 $v Catalogs. 600 10 $a Schwitters, Kurt, $d 1887-1948 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Schwitters, Kurt, $d 1887-1948. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00000963 650 0 $a Art, German $y 20th century $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Found objects (Art) $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Collage $v Catalogs. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024459.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A45A9808FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
