Beschrijving

George Grosz (1893–1959) was a German fine artist, cartoonist, and teacher who drew from pop culture, was active in the Dada and New Objectivist movements, and was an influence for artists like Ben Shahn. In this graphic biography, written and drawn by Fiske, angular art lays Kandinsky-like lines over scenes set in anything-goes, post–World War I Berlin. Fiske uses two colors―red for Berlin and green for the jazz and trains of New York, where Grosz would flee from Nazi Germany.
