Otto Dix undeniably was one of the most important German artists of the 20th century.
The main representative of Verism delivered proof of his versatile and multi-faceted objective style in both painting and various fields of graphic art. An expressive period, which followed his early works, led him to the cool Verism of the mid 1920s. Tendencies of New Objectivity gained in importance; the drawing's conciseness and an exact technique in the style of the Old Masters suggest an objectivity that is at the same time blurred to a burdy grotesque. His extraordinarily vital late work was revived by expressiveness once more. Besides drastic depictions of topics from the years before the war, the violence, sexuality and demoralization, the artist's oeuvre also comprises landscapes, portraits, nudes and religious scenes.
The world-famous artist Otto Dix, whose works had already been presented in numerous exhibitions, was honored with the comprehensive show "Otto Dix" in the American New Gallery - Museum for German and Austrian Art New York and the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts.
