Abstract EN

Kurt Schwitters is a German artist whose career is closely linked to the dada movement.

thanks to his experimental spirit, he creates the MERZ art which includes several fields such as painting, poetry, theater.

in this article, we focus on poetic art of Schwitters, especially his elementary poetry and his sonata.

for him, letter is the root of the material of poetry and there are four dimensions of word-composition of letters, sonority, sign (meaning) and element carrying associations of ideas.

moreover, Schwitters considers that typographic form is not only a way of rendering the content of the text, but also an art under certain conditions.

that is why typography plays an essential role in his poetic creation.

even though Schwitters insists on nonsense, he composes his sonata ursonate in a logical and rigorous way.

this rigor allows him to invent his own poetic language.

Abstract FRE

Kurt Schwitters est un artiste allemand dont la carrière est étroitement liée au mouvement Dada.

Grâce à son esprit expérimental, il crée l’art Merz qui concerne plusieurs domaines tels que la peinture, la poésie, le théâtre.

dans cet article, nous nous concentrons sur l’art poétique chez Schwitters, notamment sa poésie élémentaire et sa sonate.

pour lui, la lettre est à l’origine du matériel de la poésie et il s’agit de quatre dimensions du mot-la composition de lettres, la sonorité, le signe (le sens) et l’élément porteur d’associations d’idées.

de plus, Schwitters considère que la forme typographique est non seulement une façon de rendre le contenu du texte, mais aussi un art dans certaines conditions.

c’est la raison pour laquelle la typographie joue un rôle essentiel dans sa création poétique.

même si Schwitters insiste sur le non-sens, il compose sa sonate Ursonate d’une manière logique et rigoureuse.

cette rigueur lui permet d’inventer son propre langage poétique.
