内容説明・目次
内容説明
Inspired by the same society that gave rise to Christopher Isherwood's 'Berlin' stories and novels, the drawings in 'George Grosz: The Big No' present a caustic, comic view of Germany in the troubled years of the Weimar Republic. Ranging from primitive and graffiti-like drawings to complex Futurist street scenes with teeming crowds of overlapping figures, this collection shows Grosz at the height of his satirical powers, through a selection of works from his largest portfolio - 'Ecce Homo'. Pimps, black-marketeers, prostitutes, demobbed soldiers and the nouveau-riche rub shoulders in drawings of razor-sharp acuity and technical precision. Also included are the powerful, anti-militarist 'Hintergrund' drawings, originally published in 1928 to accompany Erwin Piscator's production of 'The Good Soldier Schwejk', which resulted in criminal charges being brought against Grosz for 'blasphemy and defamation of the German military'.
