GEORGES GROSZ

26 July 1893 - 6 July 1959, Berlin, Germany

Studied at Dresden and at his native town. Worked at first as a caricaturist for satirical reviews.

After the first war he joined the Dadaists.

In 1925 he allied himself with the Neue Sachlichkeit movement.

Later, in 1932,  he went to New York and naturalised after five years.

Gorsz was one of the artists who came of age during the first war and seek to exploit the principles of expressionism .

In his engravings he was usually attacking the decadence of the urban middle class.

His style, based on an expressive realism had some points of contact with elements of  surrealism.
