George Grosz

George Grosz was a renowned German artist known for his satirical and critical paintings and drawings that depicted the political and social turmoil of the early 20th century. Born in 1893, Grosz became a prominent figure in the Dada and New Objectivity movements. His works often featured grotesque and caricatured figures to highlight the corruption and hypocrisy of German society during the Weimar Republic. Grosz's art reflected his disdain for militarism, capitalism, and the rise of Nazism. He fled Germany during the Nazi regime and eventually settled in the United States, where he continued to create impactful art until his death in 1959.
