Otto Dix

Otto Dix (1891-1969) was a German artist whose work is characterized by its stark realism and often disturbing depictions of the horrors of war and the societal ills of the Weimar Republic. A veteran of World War I, Dix used his art to expose the brutality of war and its psychological effects. Known for his use of etching and woodcut, his works are often characterized by their sharp lines and gritty textures, reflecting a sense of unease and societal decay. Dix’s works often focused on themes of social alienation and the anxieties of the post-war period.
