Opis

Bitter Witness is an intensive, factual study of Otto Dix s war-related art. It is the first book to place Dix s etching cycle, Der Krieg, alongside numerous paintings and drawings in the perspective of his war experience on two fronts from mid-1915 to 1918 s finale. It includes a full history of the war, the Weimar Republic s socio-political upheavals, and the Nazi years, following Dix and his colleagues, including Kaethe Kollwitz, through the artistic movements and events in the first half of Germany s most turbulent century."
