As a result of his bold and widerangingexperiments, he has been positioned as the grandfather of Pop Art, Happenings, ConceptArt, Fluxus, multimedia art and post-modernism. His massive and influential output wasultimately curbed by the advent of World War II, during which Schwitters first escaped to Norwayand later was interned as an enemy alien in Britain.Schwitters began making assemblages from scraps of refusein 1919. He cut four letters spelling “merz” from a word foundin an advertisement, and these letters became the conceptualdrive behind his work Merz was a comforting notion involvingthe delicate positioning of fragments of the world into newcombinations. His Merz work took him to the forefront of theEuropean avant-garde and into an alliance with new Dada artists.Over the next ten years, he experimented with Merz drawingsand collages, large Merz reliefs, sculpture, abstract drama andpoetry, cabaret, typography, multimedia art, body painting,music, photography, a Merzmagazine, an enormous architecturalinstallation using eight rooms of his Hanover house, andeventually an advertising agency. Schwitters died in England’sLake District shortly after beginning construction of a Merzbarn.The Art Gallery of Alberta exhibit of works by Schwitters andhis contemporaries shows his influence on contemporary artistsbeyond the borders of Germany in both their adoption of foundmaterials and their collage and assemblage techniques. Itconsiders Schwitters’ artistic legacy across the 20th century withselections from both the Canadian and international collectionsof the National Gallery of Canada.
