Hello! Everybody in this opportunity I’m going to talk about one of my favorite painter: George Grosz. He was a Germany artist, he was born in Berlin and he grew up in the Pomeranian town of Stolp. He decided to studying art in 1909 at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. He became an excellent drawing and painter; also he was a great caricaturist. His style was influenced by expressionism and futurism. Grosz is a very critical artist and he has to painting his vision about Berlin. He tried to represents how bad the society in Germany was in 20’s, with the capitalism and the war. My favorite painting of him is called The Funeral, in 1918. In this painting, Grosz is showing a funeral procession set in a modern city depicted as an infernal with a grotesque human form. This painting was dedicated to a psychiatrist called Oskar Panizza. I like it because it’s showing the humanity, the world like an inferno, like a disaster. In this image you can see how the people were paid for all the mistakes and horrors that they are produced.
See you!!!!
