Kurt SCHWITTERS Two postcards. 1924. 2 illustrated postcards, one with autograph inscriptions in pencil (14 × 9 cm), under passepartout and glass. Two postcards of Kurt Schwitters, illustrated with his works. The first was addressed to Anthony Kok, one of the founders of the De Stijl movement, which the German artist had become close to the previous year. While in the Netherlands, Schwitters suggested to his correspondent that he organize a public evening on April 10 in Tillburg, Kok's home town. He also promised him Merz 7. Due to lack of space, the artist concludes in the middle of the illustration "Herzlichst, Kurt Schwitters". The second card, left blank, shows the sculpture Der Lustgalgen. Marcel Broodthaers paid tribute to Kurt Schwitters with his first film, The Key to the Clock (1958).
