beskrivelse:

This photograph portrays Kurt Schwitters, an artist who influenced El Lissitzky to come to Hanover, Germany, in the fall of 1922. Two pictures of Schwitters are superimposed over a poster promoting his journal Merz and an image of the July 1924 issue of Merz on which Lissitzky collaborated. The portrait on the left shows an animated orator, eyes ablaze and mouth open, while the image on the right shows a more subdued Schwitters with eyes half closed and mouth obscured in the multiple exposure. At the upper edge, the title of his journal appears to emerge symbolically from Schwitters's mind.
