George Grosz was a German artist known for his sharp and satirical depictions of society during the Weimar Republic. Born in 1893, he became a prominent figure in the Dada and New Objectivity movements, using his art to critique the political and social issues of his time. His works often featured exaggerated figures and dark humor, highlighting the corruption and moral decay he observed in post-World War I Germany. Grosz's most famous pieces include his drawings and paintings that portray the struggles of the working class and the excesses of the wealthy. He faced political backlash for his art, leading to his eventual emigration to the United States in 1933. Grosz continued to create art until his death in 1959, leaving a lasting impact on modern art.
