reading that book got me to check out 2 more books about El Lissitzky and Kurt Schwitters. started those 2 at about the same time the MoMA Bauhaus show opened - perfect timing!
Dorothea Dietrich, The Collages of Kurt Schwitters;Tradition and Innovation
Schwitters uses materials gleaned from mass culture, but imbues them with personality and hides them under thin layers of paint... he reclaims the fragments of mass culture for the individual.
El Lissitzky; Beyond the Abstract Cabinet, by Margarita Tupitsyn
and i have a 4th that i can't wait to start reading, the monograph to Cy Twombly's '94 retrospective at the MoMA by Kurt Varnedoe.
