- Summary:
- Otto Dix was regarded as one of the most inexorable social documentarians and gifted portraitists since the Weimar Republic. He relentlessly created remarkably detailed works that depicted cesspools of sin and the life of the city, as well as the horrors of the trenches. Some of Dix's images, such as The War and The Big City, are considered to be century highlights in painting and to this day shape our impression of those times. Reiner Moritz researches these masterpieces in detail. He also illustrates the life and work of one of the most important painters of the New Objectivity, whose images and drawings made his critics blood boil.
