What type of art did Otto Dix do?
1 Answer
Otto Dix shunned the popular styles of romanticism and expressionism at the time and took the lead on the new objectivity movement. He created art with non-sentimental perspectives on German society after World War I. His work would later go on to be influenced by cubism and futurism.
