Descripción

Refers to the term used to describe the artistic activities of German artist Kurt Schwitters, who was influenced by the theories of Dada. Invented by chance when cutting out the word "Commerzbank" from a newspaper, the style is characterized by the production of collages made of discarded items such as tickets, stamps, and catalogues with the intention of freeing art from traditional materials and techniques and embracing urban civilization.
