Kurt Schwitters was a German artist who is known for his collages:
I think it's really interesting how postmodern this looks even though it's from the early twentieth century

This piece - "The Hitler Gang"- is more subtle but I think the way paint and book paper and paper from miscellaneous items are blended together gives the whole collage a striking quality.

This third one looks more like a Cubist painting than a collage, which I find really cool.

The And Picture
This one is humorous in the way all the attention is focused around the word "and" (or 'und')

And this one gives off a fantastical vibe, and is visually interesting in the way it uses objects to depict parts of a face.
I like your commentary on the individual pieces. nice selection of collages!
