ABOUT
Acerbic painting as social commentary George Grosz (1893–1959) was one of the most important exponents of Dadaism, and therefore of political painting in general.
He not only condemned both militarism and bourgeois culture, but also set himself in opposition to traditional forms of art. The decisive element in Grosz’s paintings is their content: in them he pointed out defects in the political and social conditions, literally arraigning them before the public. Grosz never permitted human beings to emerge as individuals, but instead always portrayed types, as representatives of a social level or class. After the publication of his candidly drawn “pornographic illustrations,” Grosz fell under strong criticism in the 1920s. The Nazis castigated his works as “degenerate art.”
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
