Tea Dance (Tanz Kaffee) c. 1925

"Tea Dance (Tanz Kaffee)" is a 1925 drawing by German artist George Grosz (1893-1959). Grosz's satirical style is evident in this work as he uses exaggerated proportions and gestural lines to depict a scene of social interaction in a café. The drawing depicts figures in a cafe setting, engaging in conversation and enjoying refreshments. The viewer is able to see the interactions between the figures, with the artist's signature style of caricature enhancing their personality and expressions. The work is a good example of Grosz's interest in exploring the social dynamics of Weimar-era Germany.
