Kurt Schwitters (German, 1887-1948) was a multimedia artist. He was specifically prolific in the mediums of paint, collage, sound, sculpture, graphic design, and installation art. Today, we credit Schwitters with colossal contributions to the art movements of Dadaism, constructivism, and surrealism.
