<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 4290753, member: 111237&quot;]I did my senior thesis on post WWI Germany, not just the financial problems and social and political unrest but also the arts and entertainment that was rather wild. There was an artist by the name of&nbsp; Otto Dix who joined the army, like many others, taken by a sense of national pride and he spent a lot of time in the trenches. When he came back he painted and drew his experience both in the war and what he saw after. Many wounded men lost and dazed.&nbsp; He was a major force in what was label the New Objectivity movement. </p><p><br /></p><p>He only did work like this for a short time, he painted interesting portraits or street and bar screens as well. details from one of his best known works about his time at the front is below, a large, very detailed tryptic called The War:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/Dix-War-01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/Dix--War-02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/Dix--War-03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/Dix--War-04.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And after the war:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/dix-war-cripples-1920.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>War Cripples 1920</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/dix%20skatplayers-1920.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Mutated soldiers trying to play cards in The Skat Players 1920</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/soup/handoff/dix-self.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Self Portrait</p><p><br /></p><p>All images linked[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
