Description

Kurt Schwitters was one of the most influential, groundbreaking and forward-looking artists of Modernism, yet only certain areas of his immensely diverse oeuvre have been thoroughly investigated and catalogued. With this massive first volume of a landmark three-volume catalogue raisonn that oeuvre has now been fully documented for the first time, bringing to light many of Schwitters' previously unpublished collages, drawings and paintings. This first volume covers the artist's early years, show more from 1905 to 1922, with little-known works from the period prior to World War I, as well as the earliest Merz pieces he created between 1918 and 1922. The works are organized chronologically and, within years, according to genre. The book also features a detailed and illustrated biography of the artist. show less
