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.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eNew with only light shelf wear on covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eSee our other listings in this publisher series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450921763108,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/2152731250.jpg?v=1789507452","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/grosz-by-ivo-kranzfelder","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
