Español Fine biography and illustrations of this artist the nazi officials loved to hate, publically burning some of his paintings and prints in Berlin before the Second World War. Curiously, he seemed apolitical, remaining in Munich during the the Hitler era even though the gestapo arrested him briefly. In 1945 he was drafted as a very middle-aged man into the feldwehr, the last gasp of the german army to put men into the field to fight the invading allies. Later, he spent nearly two years in a French prisoner of war camp before resuming his painting career, with dificulty, in a changed art world. He was a riveting character - a pitiless observer of a violently changing scene. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The objectivist: Staging the world as a play "It is my wish to come very close, strikingly close, to the times in which we live, without submitting to artistic dogma...I need the connection to the world of senses, the courage to portray ugliness, life as it comes." - Otto Dix In the 1920s, Otto Dix was the artist of Neue Sachlichkeit, the New Objectivity, par excellence. Painting in a very realistic, almost photographic style, he chose as subjects the poverty, violence, death, and war that he experienced as a soldier in World War I. After this terrible experience, he painted the famous triptych The War. Dix staged the world as a play, a grotesque farce. But the form he chose to do so was based on the classical canon of beauty. Dix lived his life and served art, for he adhered to the age-old rule that the American painter Ad Reinhardt put in a nutshell: "Life is life, and art is art."
