    Extractions: "The Sonata consists of four movements, of an overture and a finale, and seventhly, of a cadenza in the fourth movement. The first movement is a rondo with four main themes, designated as such in the text of the Sonata. You yourself will certainly feel the rhythm, slack or strong, high or low, taut or loose. To explain in detail the variations and compositions of the themes would be tiresome in the end and detrimental to the pleasure of reading and listening, and after all I'm not a professor." The fourth movement, long-running and quick, comes as a good exercise for the reader's lungs, in particular because the endless repeats, if they are not to seem too uniform, require the voice to be seriously raised most of the time. In the finale I draw your attention to the deliberate return of the alphabet up to a. You feel it coming and expect the a impatiently. But twice over it stops painfully on the b..."

    Extractions: Kurt Schwitters was an artist, graphic designer, typographer, set designer and poet who moved to Hannover in 1919 after completing his studies at the Berlin Akademie. It was there that he started his own specific flavor of DaDaism, which he called "Merz" (allegedly from the name 'ComMERZ Bank'). From 1923-1932 he published a magazine called "Merz" in which he published his poems and art. In 1926, after a trip to Prague, he began work on his Ursonate which he performed throughout Europe for years afterward.

    Extractions: After studying at the Dresden Academy, Kurt Schwitters worked as a designer, architect, typographer, writer, and publisher while pursuing his painting. Initially curious about Cubism, Schwitters eventually developed more Dadaist style, probably because of the influence from artists such as Arp and Hausmann. He incorporated found objects and junk into his montage pieces in three-dimensional pieces that he called Merzbau, meaning “cast-off construction.” He ran the Dadaist magazine, Merz, named after this term from 1923 to 1932. With the rise of Nazism, Schwitters moved to Norway and then finally to England in 1940, where he died.

    Extractions: Schwitters used phrases such as this to provoke audiences at literary salons, who expected traditional romantic poetry, by endlessly repeating them in many different voices. In the course of ten years he expanded this early version into a 30-page work, which he later considered one of the two masterpieces he had created during his artistic career; the other one being the Merzbau in his house in Hannover, destroyed in 1944.

    Extractions: Kurt Schwitters Merzbau in Hannover Merzbau Kurt Schwitters himself described the Merzbau (Merz Building) as his life's work. The enormous significance which Schwitters attached to this work is evidenced by the fact that, from 1923 onwards, he devoted himself to it assiduously and, despite all untoward circumstances, began it three times: first in Hannover, then in Norway in 1937, and finally in exile in England in 1947. The Merzbau in Hannover was destroyed in an Allied air raid and the Norwegian version fell a victim to a fire. Only the English version remained, though Schwitters died before he could complete it. The Merzbau in Hannover was a fantastically constructed interior, as bewildering as it was abstract. The walls and ceiling were covered with a diversity of three - dimensional shapes and the room itself was crowded with materials and objects - or "spoils and relics", as Schwitters himself put it - which were contained in countless nooks and grottoes, some of them totally obstructed by later additions to the work, with the result that their contents then existed only in one's memory of the Merzbau in one of its former states.

    Extractions: A story is told, but untrue, that he attempted to join the network of Dada artists, only to be rejected by the leader of the Berlin movement, Richard Huelsenbeck, on the premise that Schwitters was "too bourgeois" for Dada. A 2005 exposition on Dada at the Centre Georges Pompidou further acknowledged Schwitters as a member of the larger movement by devoting an entire section to the exhibition of some of his work (Ramade 2005). Thanks to Schwitters' lifelong patron and friend Katherine Dreier, his work was exhibited regularly in the USA from 1920 onwards. Schwitters published his own Merz magazine from 1923-32 and in the late 1920s became a well-known typographer; his best-known work was the catalogue for the Dammerstocksiedlung in Karlsruhe. From 1924 he ran an advertising agency called Merzwerbe, and in the late 1920s was the official typographer of Hannover town council. In a manner similar to the typographic experimentation by Herbert Bayer at the Bauhaus, Schwitters experimented with the creation of a new more phonetic alphabet in 1927. Some of his types were cast and used in his work. A digital revival of Schwitters' 1927 typeface called Architype Schwitters was released in 1997. In the late 1920s Schwitters joined the Deutscher Werkbund (German Work Federation)s.

    Extractions: From 1919 until a night in early October 1937, when Allied bombing destroyed the Merzbau , Kurt Schwitters continuously composed and manipulated this assemblage [Fig. 1] . The project, variously categorized as an architectural undertaking, or as a performatively elaborated sculptural program, through the ceiling and floor to extend his work outside the original armature of the building. The expanse of Merzbau The Merzbau involved two dimensions. The first dimension consisted of a crafted architectural structure made of plaster and wood, and built up along multiple, irregular axes. The second consisted of an inner core, a formless accretion of discarded random objects and fragments. The interior and the shell-like enclosure connected to one another through labyrinthine, miniature tunnels or voids, which doubled as spaces for the display of objects. Schwitters used these spaces to present other assemblages or collections of things taken out of everyday circulation. Friends frequently noted that a possession was missing, only to visit Schwitters and find the absent item exhibited in a grotto. Hannah Hoch worried over a missing key and later found it part of a sculpture; Mies van der Rohe noted that Schwitters filched a drawing pencil and placed it in one of the caves. Because

    Extractions: Systran Born in Hanover in 1887, Kurt Schwitters is one of the major and most individual figures in modern art. In this film we are guided through his career by his son Ernst Schwitters. Thought of from the first as an eccentric celebrity in his home town, he was naturally drawn to the Dada movement through his anarchic attitudes and creations. `I am Kurt Schwitters and I nail my paintings together!' he exclaimed of his collages and constructions of everyday detritus. His poems were similarly disjointed, often full of furious, meaningless sounds. Being too much of an individualist to be contained within Dada, Schwitters went on to offer his own `movement,' which he called Merz , to the world. It was intended to embrace dance, theater, visual art, poetry and performance. Escaping from the Nazis in Germany, Schwitters traveled to Norway, and to Holland, where he collaborated with Theo van Doesburg to promote the notions of modern art. All the while Schwitters was `recharging the batteries' of his creativity by painting more conventional portraits and landscapes, but like the architect van Doesburg and other artists such as Mondrian, he aspired to create art that would be an all-encompassing, total environment. To this end he constructed a Merz-bau , a modern art house, in which the occupant might `inhabit' an interior entirely constructed of dynamic shapes created by the artist. The film ends with the tragic destruction by bombing of the Hanover
