Kurt Schwitters' "Relief" is composed of a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and found objects. This assemblage technique reflects his interest in Dadaism and collage, as he repurposed everyday items to create a three-dimensional artwork. The relief's layered composition and textural contrasts highlight the interplay between different materials, emphasizing the artistic potential of the commonplace.

A sculpture that is attached to a wall or a panel is called a "relief." Relief sculptures can be classified into various types, such as bas-relief (low relief) and high relief, depending on how much the figures project from the background. They are often used to depict scenes or narratives in a more three-dimensional form while remaining connected to a flat surface.
The term for carved works of sculpture is "relief sculpture" when the figures are raised from a flat background, or simply "sculpture" when referring to three-dimensional carved works in various forms. Carvings can be made from materials like stone, wood, or ivory, and they can be full-round (freestanding) or in relief.
The art term for a sculpture viewed from one side and created on a flat background is "relief sculpture." Relief sculptures can be classified into two main types: high relief, where the figures project significantly from the background, and low relief (or bas-relief), where the projection is minimal.
