Kurt Schwitters quotes about
essentials form mediums
The medium is as unimportant as I myself. Essential is only the forming.
together purpose rubbish
I could see no reason why used tram tickets, bits of driftwood, buttons and old junk from attics and rubbish heaps should not serve well as materials for paintings; they suited the purpose just as well as factory-made paints It is possible to cry out using bits of old rubbish, and that's what I did, gluing and nailing them together.
fragments made new-things
New things had to be made out of fragments.
