George Grosz
George Grosz (; born
Georg Ehrenfried Groß; July 26, 1893 – July 6, 1959) was a German artist known especially for his
caricatural drawings and paintings of
Berlin life in the 1920s. He was a prominent member of the Berlin
Dada and
New Objectivity groups during the
Weimar Republic. He emigrated to the United States in 1933, and became a naturalized citizen in 1938. Abandoning the style and subject matter of his earlier work, he exhibited regularly and taught for many years at the
Art Students League of New York. In 1959 he returned to Berlin, where he died shortly afterwards.
