Kurt Schwitters was born on June 20, 1887 in Germany. He studied art and drawing at Dresden Academy from 1909-1915. Schwitters began his artistic journey by collecting garbage and turning it into art masterpieces. He began his ventures after World War I and used his creative building by finding materials around him. With the garbage, Schwitters would directly place the pieces of garbage onto his current works. Through these art pieces, he would create collages that would incorporate his artistic mind and the media’s printed works. He later created journals, advertisement and he founded the Merz journal.
