A remarkable modern interpretation of form, texture, and color by a wonderfully humble and authentic California artist, Ron Travelletti. Title: Merz. Merz is a nonsense word invented by the German dada artist Kurt Schwitters to describe his collage and assemblage works.

Size/Dimensions: 40' Wide x 3.5" Deep x 32" High (inches)

Large, original new work. Beautiful allusions to modernity, Asian emergence, and erotica with a subtle homage to Hannelore Baron. An authentic piece of post-modern western Americana.

Starting in the Modernist period, before being propelled into the contemporary art world, Assemblage and Collage Art has endured many changes as more artists began to explore it.

From its early roots in both Dadaism and Modernism, Collage Art existed as a medium that was as diverse as it was politically motivated. Due to its emergence after World War One, Art Collage allowed artists to experiment with existing materials such as newsprint, magazines, tickets, propaganda, and photographs in order to create new works of art. These materials were ripped apart and reassembled into visually powerful fusions that interacted together in such a unique way that added to the avant-garde process that encompassed Collage Art.

Great 20th Century practitioners of collage art are Kurt Schwitters (1887 – 1948),.
