Answer
Merz Painter was the title that Schwitters bestowed upon himself in his singular pursuit of Dadaism. He merged distinct fragments and elements from everyday objects, including tickets, fabric, and bits of paper, to create innovative mixed-media artworks devoid of traditional distinctions between painting, sculpture, and collage. This novel artistic practice exemplified his defiance of artistic conventions and his pursuit of a unique artistic identity within the Dada movement.
