George Grosz; between 1909 and 1911 he studied at the Dresden Academy with the aim of deepening his knowledge of the great classics. He then made copies of works by the old masters, in particular by Rubens, exhibited in the Dresden art gallery;
in this period he also made drawings for newspapers and satirical magazines, using the tool of caricature. In 1913 he stayed in Paris, where he came into contact with the avant-gardes of Cubism and Futurism and where he was able to closely admire the works
of Francisco Goya, Honoré Daumier and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
It was in these years that his style underwent a process of progressive simplification of forms, under the influence of expressionism, cubism and futurism, widespread among the young artists of the time.
Between 1915 and 1917 the graphic reduction of the sign was radicalized to express the moral collapse following the Prussian defeat: on this style Grosz based the production of the following years, characterized by adherence to the Berlin Dada movement
and by revolutionary political positions. In 1919 he was arrested for participating in the Spartacist uprising; in the same year he joined the Communist Party of Germany.
The artistic production of those years was based on a cubist and futurist language that started from courtly artistic sources of the past to arrive at popular iconographic models. Thus he passed from caricatured drawings to apocalyptic and violent urban views to
programmatically political graphics, finally arriving at the New Objectivity movement, in which Grosz participated in the 1925 Mannheim exhibition. In his paintings, but above all in the drawings and lithographs of this period, the immense tragedy of post-war
Germany is reflected. Streets, hovels, living rooms, barracks are as if vivisected by Grosz's corrosive pencil, which without irony mercilessly reveals their hypocrisy and violence.
His hard and angular style, sometimes childish and violently explicit, is ideal for illustrating poor people, prostitutes, drunks, murderers, wounded soldiers, with a violent component of social criticism against the ruthless greed of the ruling classes and vulgar
men of business, hidden under the guise of respectability. In 1933, with the advent of Nazism, George Grosz was considered a degenerate artist and for this reason he left Germany to teach in New York; in 1938 he obtained United States citizenship.
In 1958 he returned to live in Germany. George Grosz died in Berlin on July 6, 1959 at the age of 65.
