Frases de Kurt Schwitters

Kurt Schwitters fue un artista alemán, pintor, escultor, poeta y diseñador gráfico, nacido en Hannover. Excluido del movimiento Dadá berlinés, reaccionó fundando Dadá Hannover. Este movimiento se fundó sobre el apoliticismo , lo fantástico y el constructivismo. Sus principales pilares eran la revista Merz y el arte del mismo nombre.

Su actividad artística se fundaba sobre el collage; sobre sus telas se encontraban boletos de ómnibus, pedazos de afiches, periódicos, lana, botones, telas, etc.

El nombre Merz alude a un fragmento de papel donde estaba escrito la palabra alemana Kommerz, de Kommerz Bank. Wikipedia

“Classical poetry counts on people's similarity. It regards idea associations as unequivocal. This is a mistake. In any case, it rests on a fulcrum of idea associations: 'Above the peaks is peace.'... The poet counts on poetic feelings. And what is a poetic feeling? The whole poetry of peace / quiet stands or falls on the reader's ability to feel. Words are not judged here.”
