Discovery of Art: Kurt Schwitters (2000)

This documentary explores the art of Kurt Schwitters, a German artist now celebrated for his collages and sculptures made from found objects. Starting as an Expressionist painter, Schwitters began using collage in 1919, incorporating everyday items like train tickets and newspapers into his work to highlight their colors, textures, and unexpected qualities. The film features many of his most renowned pieces, captured during an exhibition at the George Pompidou Museum.
