George Grosz at the end of World War I joined the political Dada group. His subtle and delicate pen-drawings are a savage criticism of the social conditions of the 20's. Futurism characterized his early paintings, but after 1925 Grosz developed the graphic and plastically enhanced realism which today bears the name of 'New Objectivity'. Later he turned to a phantastic surrealism, a style he also retained after his emigration to the USA.
