Otto Dix

Otto Dix [b. 1891, Untermhaus , Germany; d. 1969, Singen, Germany] was profoundly affected by his service in the German Army during the First World War. His subsequent prints and paintings depict the harsh realities of Weimar society, National Socialism and war. Along with George Grosz and Max Beckmann, Dix became one of the most important artists of the Neue Sachlichkeit [New Objectivity] movement. Exhibitions include the Fundación Juan Marc in Madrid [2006] and ‘Otto Dix und die Kunst des Porträts’ at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart [2007 –08].
