What type of art did Otto Dix do?
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.
