Artist

Kurt Schwitters was a german artist born 1887 in Hanover, Germany. He worked in poetry, sound, painting, sculpture, graphic design, and installation art. His work became darker as the First World War progressed, and notably changed in 1918 while he was living through Germany's economic, political, and military collapse at the end of the World War 1. He described his collection of collages of which he was most famous for, Merz Picutres as "a revolution within me, not as it was, but as it should have been."
