About this work

This piece is made from scraps glued onto paper. You see bold red, black, and gray squares, a small button, and a tiny blue ticket or card. The background looks like old paper or fabric, with a faded stamp and a number "3" on a yellow slip. The artist stuck real objects—like the button and ticket—right into the work. It feels like a collage of everyday junk. Check out Kurt Schwitters to see more of his mixed-media art.
