Kurt Schwitters — Statement Trio | Minimalist Black & White Constructivist Art PrintKurt Schwitters (18871948) was a German British artist who invented Merz his own form of collage, assemblage, and total art and became one of the most original voices in the Dadaist and Constructivist avant gardes. Rejected by the Berlin Dada group, he built his own movement from found materials, typography, and commercial ephemera, producing works that anticipate Pop Art by three decades. His poster designs and typographic works brought the Bauhaus

and exotic fauna reached an extraordinary level of scientific precision and aesthetic beauty

His early graphic works — the Noirs series of lithographs and charcoal drawings featuring floating eyes

and countless concert halls worldwide

Johannes Vermeer

and teacher who became one of the Bauhaus's most visionary figures

he produced paintings

Chinese calligraphy is one of the oldest and most esteemed art forms in the world — a tradition stretching back over three millennia

and a new interest in individual characterisation that produced some of the most psychologically penetrating portraits of the pre-modern world

His collage works — raw

now in the Imperial Household collection) constitute the most detailed

particularly his blue nocturnes of Tokyo landmarks

His pioneering conviction that colour and form could carry emotional and spiritual meaning independently of any subject — articulated in his landmark treatise Concerning the Spiritual in Art — launched a revolution that defined modernism
