專家說明

Schwitters’ late assemblages incorporate organic material and found objects, such as the painted stone and glass in the present work. In this series the artist replaced the mass-produced ephemera of previous years reflecting his move away from London to rural Cumbria in 1945. Through his use of found materials and the elevation of the discarded,  Schwitters inspired post-war pioneers like Robert Rauschenberg, who, after viewing an exhibition of Schwitters' work at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1959, said: "I felt like he made it all just for me."
