Content provided in partnership with print share link The Collages of Kurt Schwitters: Tradition and Innovation. - book reviews Art Bulletin, The June, 1995 by Roger Cardinal As a contribution to anglophone criticism of the work of Kurt Schwitters, Dorothea Dietrich's monograph adopts an approach midway between the panoramic inclusiveness of a John Elderfield and the sharp focus upon single images of an Annegreth Nill. This study of the artist's collages is not quite as thoroughgoing as its title might suggest, inasmuch as its chronological span extends only to the late 1930s and ignores the rich last decade of Schwitters's exile. On the other hand, Dietrich's detailed exposition of a cycle of forty watercolor drawings (the Aquarelle of 1919), along with her impressive forty-page description and interpretation of the Hanover Merzbau, reflect an expansive conception of what is meant by "collage." This semantic liberty is justified by that fundamental unity of outlook, that steady strand of Merz expressivity, which formed the artist's productions in so many different visual, not to mention literary, formats.

INTRODUCTION Schwitters is recognized for his unique contribution to twentieth-century art and literature. Influenced by Dadaism, Cubism, German Expressionism, and similar avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century, Schwitters offered his idiosyncratic vision of postwar bourgeois culture in the form of collage, sculpture, experimental poetry and prose. Furnishing the neologism Merz —a name derived from a discarded scrap of paper bearing the phrase "Kommerz und Privatbank" ("Commerce and Private Bank")—to describe his projects, Schwitters produced a series of visual and literary works collected from the rubbish of the modern industrial landscape. In his Merz collages and assemblages Schwitters attached found fragments to one another in an apparently chaotic fashion. Using the concept of

HOME ART Stunned is pleased to present an extract from Elizabeth Burns Gamard's KURT SCHWITTERS' MERZBAU THE CATHEDRAL OF EROTIC MISERY To view the footnotes click on the numbers. Footnotes will appear in a new window. Available from Princeton Architectural Press and Amazon.com INTRODUCTION: KURT SCHWITTERS' SEHNSUCHT Although completely destroyed by Allied bombing raids over Hannover in 1943, Kurt Schwitters' vast architectural construction, Die Kathedrale des erotischen Elends ("the Cathedral of Erotic Misery"), or Merzbau , remains one of the most compelling artworks of the twentieth-century. Recent interpretations of the Merzbau have attempted to explicitly situate the project in terms of contemporary issues in art and architecture, comparing Schwitters' construction with works as diverse as the Francesco Colonna's late-sixteenth century architectural parable Hypnerotomachia ("Love and Strife in a Dream") , also known as the Polyphili

Kurt Schwitters, ca. 1924. About the Show: Dada, as it occurred in Hannover, was basically Kurt Schwitters' one-man show. He'd been denied membership in Berlin's Club Dada for not being "political enough," so shrugged his shoulders and formed the Dada sub-movement of Merz (a fragment of the word "Kommerz," taken from a bank's newspaper advertisement and incorporated into an early piece). Though Merz' membership was limited to Schwitters, he often collaborated with other Dadaists. The Hannover section of Dada is notable for containing four of Schwitters' limited amount of large-scale assemblages and collages. The first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on the brief but hugely influential movement, Dada surveys the six principal cities in which its artists worked between 1916 and 1924. This exhibition represents nearly fifty artists in over 400 pieces including paintings, collage, photomontage, readymade constructions, photographs and printed matter.

The German artist Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) started his career as an expressionist painter before turning to wood constructions and paper collages in 1917. While being associated with not only the German Dada movement but also artists from the Bauhaus and de Stilj in Holland, Schwitters was always fiercely independent and avoided being absorbed into any of the avant-garde art movements that flourished in Europe between the wars. Living in somewhat bourgeois prosperity in Hanover, he was sometimes belittled by his Berlin Dada colleagues for his lack of enthusiasm with radical politics. Inventing the name "Merz" in 1920, he became, in effect, a one-man art movement, best known for his mastery of the art of collage and for his contribution to the history of radical typography through his various journals and other publications. Included in Hitler's Entartete Kunst (degenerate art) exhibition, Schwitters, like many of his contemporaries, left Germany in 1937, initially moving to Norway and three years later, as the German army advanced, he fled again to Scotland only to be arrested and interned as a an enemy alien. By 1943, he was living with his son and daughter-in-law in London, scraping together an income from commissioned portrait paintings and continuing to work on his 'Merz' collages and constructions.

Kurt Schwitters Grosser Tanz, 1921 (Large Dance) Merzbild mit Regnbue c. 1939 (Merzpicture with Rainbow) Oorlog, 1930 Past Masters: Kurt Schwitters, Merzmeister Scot Borofsky, editor The following excerpts are from Kurt Schwitters by John Elderfield (Thames and Hudson, 1985). For Schwitters, the new order was literally to be made from the remnants of the old. "Everything had broken down . . . new things had to be made from fragments." That winter of 1918, he started to make collages and assemblages from all kinds of refuse and found materials: "new art forms out of the remains of a former culture." In July 1919, when some of these works were exhibited at the Sturm gallery, Schwitters chose the word "Merz" to describe them. He was conscious that they were his most important and original works to date and wanted to separate them from anything that had ever been done before: Hannover Merzbau photographed c. 1930

72. Kurt Schwitters In England: 1940 - 1948 kurt schwitters cover) In 1958, this was the first publication of kurt schwitters English poems and prose, and — apart from an important article by Robert http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/wid/exhibits/gaberbocchus-press/kurt.html

Kurt Schwitters in England: 1940 - 1948 Themerson first met Schwitters when they happened to sit next to each other at a meeting of the PEN Club held to celebrate 300 years of John Milton's Aeropagitica, at the French Institute, London, 1943. It seems that they quickly recognised shared values (not least in what Themerson called 'making havoc of the classification system'). They became friends. Schwitters paid visits to the Themersons at home in Maida Vale, and they remained in intermittent contact until his death in 1948. Kurt Schwitters' reputation as a major German dadaist meant nothing when he arrived in Britain as an alien in 1940. When after months of internment, principally in the Isle of Man, he came to London in 1941 he was still an outsider, and he remained virtually unknown as an artist outside a tiny avant-garde circle throughout his years in England. When Themerson met him, he was living with his son Ernst in Barnes. Schwitters had met and befriended Edith Thomas ('Wantee', as he called her), and from 1944 on they lived together. In 1945 they moved to Ambleside in the Lake District. In February 1958, Themerson gave a talk about Schwitters at the Gaberbocchus Common Room. The text of his talk became the introduction to this book. Themerson saw the art of collage as a political act in Schwitters' hands, an heroic gesture against conventions. The way that the Themersons designed the book also expresses this liberation, almost like a collage itself, with its various coloured papers and insertions. Stefan Themerson's irreverent improvisation with the Court Circular title and crest from The Times as a cover design is also very Schwitters-like, in idea and in technique.
