Little Dance
Pictures by Kurt Schwitters
Kurt Schwitters' Little Dance, from 1920, gathers torn tickets, wrappers and newspaper scraps into a lively collage of warm browns and rust red. Schwitters called his art Merz, a word snipped from a bank advertisement, and found beauty in the leftovers of everyday life in Hanover. For someone who loves modern art.
