Kurt Schwitters

A German painter who lived from 1887-1948. He worked in a variety of different styles, but was most famous for his collages. His worked throughout the years was influenced by cubism, expressionism, and modernism, among others. He is most famous for a collection of work called Merz Pictures made in 1921.

Truthfully, I'm not really a fan of this style of art. The reason I chose Kurt Schwitters over the other 2 was because he seemed the most visually pleasing choice. Overall all 3 were too abstract for my tastes, but I liked Kurt's way of seeming painterly while doing collage.
