Kurt Schwitters at the Musée Picasso in Paris
The Musée Picasso is showing Kurt Schwitters in Paris through more than 300 works and documents. The presentation highlights an artist who turned deconstruction into a working method.
Sculptures, paintings, collages, photographs and archival documents make up this presentation devoted to Kurt Schwitters. Held at the Musée Picasso in Paris, it brings together different forms of making in order to show the breadth of his practice.
For artists and for anyone interested in painting and drawing, the key point is the way Schwitters turns materials and fragments into visual language. The exhibition shows an art that does not seek immediate unity, but builds its strength through assembly, rupture and the tensions between elements.
The exhibition’s title speaks of a “methodical art of deconstruction,” which suggests a patient working process rather than a mere gesture of provocation. Through this range of works, visitors can follow a gaze that asks what an image can hold, shift, or make cohere.
