Molly thanks for the Schwitters. I haven't seen his later work before."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I think you get Antiques Roadshow on BBC America, don't you ?
In one series, a woman showed up with a portrait of herself as a little girl that Schwitters had painted when he was a refugee from the Nazis over here.
It was a lovely, delicate charming portrait, completely unlike the Dadaist/Surrealist collages or his Merzbau constructions, but I liked it very much.
Here's a link for where he spent his final years:
I'm also indebted to this site:
and of course the Tate Gallery's list of artists, painters and sculptors.
I hadn't realised fully, until participating in this thread, how in contrast to the U.S. 's explosion of talents in painting, both Abstract, Pop and Neorealist and Minimalist, how strong the Continental Europeans and British were in sculpture, especially in the post-war reconstruction period.
All of my examples, except for the Tom Phillips extract from 'A Humument', are dated from the proscribed twenty year period, so I'm quite pleased.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
