...Jubilant Shout. Schwitters did not invent collage as a medium-Braque and Picasso were ahead of him. But when he began making his first assembled images in 1918, he managed to shift the function and look of collage far from its cubist origins. He rummaged through the trash cans of his native Hannover the way an archaeologist might pick over a buried midden heap, on the sound theory that a culture reveals itself in what it throws away. Schwitters was the first to make poetry of this fact, calling his collages "Merz-pictures." The word came from a fragment...

"Our Soviet people don't believe in God," he said, "but we respect religious buildings. Yet these people who say they believe in God climb on top of the synagogue and shout four-letter words at our children. The leaders of the synagogue say they don't approve, but they don't do anything. I simply do not believe that the United States authorities are unable to protect us. I saw on television how they acted at the Chicago convention...
