[ePub] L'educazione sentimentale (Italian Edition) by Giancarlo Carioti at Arts-Photography

Description

German artist Kurt Schwitters (1887ndash;1948) is best known for his pioneering work in fusing collage and abstraction; the two most transformative innovations of twentieth-century art. Considered the father of installation art; Schwitters was also a theorist; a Dadaist; and a writer whose influence extends from Robert Rauschenberg and Eva Hesse to Thomas Hirschhorn. But while his early experiments in collage and installation from the interwar period have garnered much critical acclaim; his later work has generally been ignored. In the first book to fill this gap; Megan R. Luke tells the fascinating; even moving story of the work produced by the aging; isolated artist under the Nazi regime and during his years in exile.
