\u201cSchwitters in Britain\u201d examines the late work of Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948), one of the major artists of European Modernism.<\/p>\n

Schwitters was also important in the Dada movement and was the creator of his own form of Dada, \u201cMerz\u201d. The exhibition focuses on his British period, from his arrival in Britain as a refugee in 1940 until his death in 1948. Schwitters was forced to flee Germany when his work was condemned as \u201cdegenerate\u201d by Germany\u2019s Nazi government and the show traces the impact of exile on his work. It includes over 150 collages, assemblages and sculptures, many shown in the United Kingdom for the first time in over 30 years. Schwitters\u2019 time in Britain was quite extraordinary and continues to reverberate today, with the influence he has exerted over artists such as Richard Hamilton,Eduardo Paolozzi and Damien Hirst.<\/p>\n
