拍品专文

Ohne Titel (Fotografien mit Sorgfalt) is a Merz collage from Schwitters' last years when the artist was living in the Lake District in England. Forced into exile from Norway where he had fled Nazi Germany to live with his son Ernst, Schwitters had again been forced to flee to England when the Nazis invaded Norway in 1940.
Heavily layered with a wide range of torn and fragmented scraps, this Merzbild is typical of Schwitters' late style being more freely and intuitively constructed than his earlier more classic, self-conscious and geometric constructions. Along with an increasing organic quality to his work of the 1930s and 1940s Schwitters' collages reflected the artist's assured confidence and command of his medium.
