Otto Dix

Meer over het boek

In the 1920s, Otto Dix was the artist of Neue Sachlichkeit, the New Objectivity, par excellence. Painting in a very realistic, almost photographic style, he chose as subjects the poverty, violence, death, and war that he experienced as a soldier in World War I. He staged the world as a play, a grotesque farce based on the classical canon of beauty.
