About the Book

Award winning artist Anthony Padgett's book of over 50 artworks in response to International artist Kurt Schwitters who spent his final year in the Lake District. Schwitters is well know for his "Merz" collage art which used discarded items. Next year marks the 75th anniversary of Schwitters' death, in Kendal. Padgett explores this and also how Schwitters rose to fame through his Dada poetry, and how he was on the Romantic and expressionist side of Dadaism and Constructivist. This, coupled with his love of poetry and landscape painting, links him to the Lake District and the tradition of William Wordsworth. Anthony D Padgett worked at Dove Cottage, Grasmere, in the 1990s and whose sculptures of poets and artists like Wilfred Owen, Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso are sited in key locations in the UK and abroad. Said Anthony "I have really enjoyed creating artworks around Schwitters and am keen to share some insights into the man. He was a polymath who combined art, poetry, typography, architecture and performance. It means there is plenty of scope to explore and make something really interesting and original." "A Year with Kurt Schwitters" was launched at the historic family home of Wordsworth at the Rydal Mount Spring Fair. It continued with an exhibition at Ambleside Library in June and then be at Kendal Library, he showed new painting, collage, sculpture and poetry and his collection of rare Schwitters books.
