Schwitters in Context: The British Years

Michael White joins Shulamith Behr, Sarah MacDougall, Nick Wadley, Lloyd Gibson, and Rob Airey to discuss Kurt Schwitters' British period and its wider context, and to present his paper 'Black and White, and Read All Over: Colour and Meaning in Kurt Schwitters' Collages'.  Topics explored during this half day conference will include Schwitters' internment in Camp Hutchinson, the impact of the émigré network, the relationship between abstraction and representation in his work, as well as his final years in the Lake District.

This event is hosted by Tate Britain to complement their exhibition 'Schwitters in Britain' with the support of Newcastle University's Hatton Gallery.  For further details, to book, and for a full programme please visit this link.
