Kurt Schwitters (1887 in Hanover - 1948 in Kendal) was an unconventional figure of the avant-garde who created a radical synthesis of art, design and literature. The exhibition shows his multi-layered work - from Dadaist collages and the walk-in "Merzbau" to portraits and landscape paintings - and sheds light on his creative resilience being in exile and his role as an independent artist caught between the currents of modernism.
