My comment:Destruction
· Kurt Schwitters
My comment:“Kurt Schwitters was an early 20th-century Dada artist whose elegant collages were made in the wake of the First World War as hopeful portraits of how destruction can feed creation: how bits of advertising, scraps of newspaper, wood, garbage, and urban debris could all be collaged together into something new and beautiful. Schwitters believed that art was holistic, that philosophy, and lifestyle, which he called merz—a nonsense word that became his kind of personal brand - were synthesized in his art practice.” OCA documents
