Otto Dix was a German artist and printmaker who was active during the first half of the 20th century. His paintings reflect the trauma he suffered during World War I. Born in 1891 in Untermhaus, Germany, Otto Dix was a prolific and versatile painter who produced works in a variety of styles, including Expressionism, New Objectivity, and Surrealism. Despite his early training in academic painting, Dix's paintings often contained a sharp, critical edge that was in stark contrast to the idealized, academic art of the 1930’s in Germany under the Hitler regime. His paintings and prints often depicted the violence and suffering of World War I, as well as the decadence and corruption of German society in the 1920s. Dix's works were banned by the Nazi regime in the 1930s, and he was drafted into the People’s Militia during World War II. After the war, Dix continued to create and exhibit his paintings until his death in 1969. Today, he is considered one of the leading artists of the 20th century and his works can be found in major art museums and collections around the world.
