“The war was a mirror; it reflected man’s every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity.” George Grosz was born Georg Ehrenfried Groß in Berlin, Germany, on July 26, 1893. He served as an infantryman during the Great War though was invalided out. He is known especially for his caricatural drawings and paintings of Berlin life in the 1920s.
