Londonprintstudio Gallery
London W10 4RE

Overview

George Grosz was one of the greatest satirical artists of the 20th century. A co-founder of the Berlin Dada group and revolutionary in the 1920s, he made hundreds of drawings depicting the vices and injustices of capitalist society during the Weimar era, many of them published in portfolios by the left wing publisher Malik Verlag. This exhibition presents a selection of images from two of the most powerful: 'Ecce Homo', 1923, and 'Hintergrund' ('Background'), 1928.
