George Grosz

By Sabine RewaldA penetrating reevaluation of the period in which the German Expressionist George Grosz created his best-known, most searing satirical works.This overdue investigation of George Grosz’s (1893–1959) most compelling paintings, drawings, prints, and collages offers a reassessment of the celebrated German Expressionist during his years in Berlin—from his earliest artistic endeavors to the trenchant satirical images and searing depictions of moral decay between the World Wars for which he is known today. Menacing street scenes, rowdy cabarets, corrupt politicians, wounded soldiers, greedy war profiteers, and other symbols of Berlin’s interwar decline all met with the artist’s relentless gaze, which exposed the core social issues that eventually led to Germany’s extreme nationalist politics. Featuring masterpieces as well as rarely published works, this book provides further insight into the artist’s creative pinnacle, reached during this critical and ominous period in German history.Hardcover180 pages | 115 color illustrationsYale University Press, 20228.5 x 10 inchesISBN 9781588397546Monograph

George Grosz in Berlin: The Relentless Eye

By Ralph Jentsch Text by Juerg Judin, Pay Matthis Karstens, Mechthild Hagemann Previously unseen early works from the Weimar Republic's greatest chronicler and satirist. This volume is dedicated to the early life and career of the brilliant young artist Georg Ehrenfried Gross (1893-1959), who would later become known as George Grosz. Known for his politically charged paintings and caricatural depictions of Berlin life in the 1920s, the youthful Gross had a long way to go before changing his name and becoming the most popular and sharp-tongued chronicler of the Weimar Republic. Gross made his first oil paintings in 1912 while still a student, and by 1914 was working in a style deeply influenced by Expressionism, Futurism and popular illustration. Presenting over 50 works made between the years 1904 and 1917, all but a few exhibited for the first time ever, the inaugural exhibition of Das kleine Grosz Museum, and this accompanying catalog, trace the artistic and biographical trajectory of this great artist's journey.Hardcover 178 pages Walther Konig, 20228.25 x 1 x 11 inchesISBN 9783753302041Artist Monograph, Arts & Photography Criticism

Gross Before Grosz: The Early Years

By Rose-Carol Washton Long "An indispensable anthology that immediately renders its predecessors obsolete. With its gathering of public and private documents, it carries us through the rise and fall of one of the great upheavals of modern art." —Robert Rosenblum, New York University"These essays, including many previously unavailable in English, are rich with startling new insights into the German Expressionist psyche. Elucidating the artists' view of government, the role of women in modern society, and their own ambivalence about the effectiveness of abstract art, this anthology is essential reading for all scholars and students of twentieth-century art." —Joan Marter, author of Alexander CalderGerman Expressionism, one of the most significant movements of early European modernism, was an enormously powerful element in Germany's cultural life from the end of the Wilhelmkine Empire to the Third Reich. While the movement embraced such diverse artists as E. L. Kirchner, Wassily Kandinsky, Käthe Kollwitz, and George Grosz, all the participants shared an almost messianic belief in the power of art to change society. Rose-Carol Washton Long has drawn together over eighty documents crucial to the understanding of German Expressionism, many of them translated for the first time into English. Rose-Carol Washton Long is Professor of Art History at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Among her books is Kandinsky: The Development of an Abstract Style.

German Expressionism: Documents from the End of the Wilhelmine Empire to the Rise of National Socialism

By Michael White "With Generation Dada, White has presented readers with a powerful new portrait of an avant-garde that flourished in one of the most fraught cities of the early twentieth century." —Catherine Craft, Burlington Magazine“In a well researched, detailed examination of the Berlin avant-garde in the context of WWI, White . . . offers a fresh analysis of the key events and personal relationships that helped form the artistic practices of some of the central figures of the German Dada movement. In an informative but refreshingly accessible style, the author manages to pay close attention to the intricacies of cultural and historical context as well as the formal elements of the works themselves . . . demonstrating a keen eye for the relationship between content and form.” —ChoiceFor the Berlin Dadaists, their identity as a collective—Club Dada, to members—was an integral part of their artistic practice. But the circumstances that brought together the likes of George Grosz, John Heartfield, Raoul Hausmann, and Johannes Baader—renamed Propaganda Marshall, Monteurdada, Dadasoph, and Oberdada within the organization—have remained largely unexamined until now. Drawing on extensive archival research, this book documents the group'ss beginnings in wartime Berlin and reveals how these relationships influenced its provocative acts, which were inextricably tied to the era's chaos and brutality. Studying how the Dadaists saw themselves as a new generation—in contrast to their pacifist forebears, the Expressionists—the book sheds light on key developments and events, such as the First International Dada Fair, held in Berlin in 1920. It also offers the first serious consideration of the group's role in constructing its own legacy, even as the works were deliberately rooted in the ephemeral.Michael White is reader in the history of art at the University of York and is best known internationally for his research on the early-20th-century De Stijl group in the Netherlands.
