George Grosz

George Grosz (born Georg Groß; July 26, 1893 – July 6, 1959) was a German painter and caricaturist.

He was a leading name of the artistic movements Dada and New Objectivity, in Germany. His work is very critic of the difficult conditions his country faced at the Weimar Republic. A communist and anti-nazi, he moved to the United States, in 1933. He became an American citizen in 1938. He would live there until 1959, when he returned to Berlin, only to die few months later.[1]
