Theme: Merzy-Beat

Inspired by Michael’s fine Schwittervision artwork from a couple of weeks back.

This week, I thought we could create collages inspired by the Life & Work of Mr Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948).

It’s my last theme for January today but I don’t mind continuing the themes into February if that’s okay.

  3. Thanks Angie & Michael. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's work.
    I've been enjoying some of the films about Kurt on YouTube, including this one made by The Tate Gallery about his internment in Britain.

    1. Thanks for the link Ron. Good to see one of my long time mail art contacts Creative Things envelope and hand carved Schwitters stamp about one minute into the video! I put it on FB and he was chuffed too!
