Kurt Schwitters. The Chaos World. 1918-1948

Kurt Schwitters hadn’t received such prominent exposure in France in over thirty years. This incomparable artist, a pillar of the Dada spirit and master of German abstraction, is installing himself at the Musée national Picasso-Paris with an impressive collection of three hundred pieces. His talent lay in his ability to elevate trash – bus tickets, scraps of string and old papers – into works of striking modernity. The route mirrors his genius for assemblage with that of Picasso, revealing their shared passion for the radical transformation of ordinary materials. From paintings to secret notebooks, this retrospective offers a complete vision of a creator who made recycling a universal language between 1918 and 1948. A rare opportunity to observe how art can be reborn from fragments of the world.
