Lytro. George Grosz. George Grosz (July 26, 1893 – July 6, 1959) was a German artist known especially for his caricatural drawings of Berlin life in the 1920s.

George Grosz

He was a prominent member of the Berlin Dada and New Objectivity group during the Weimar Republic before he emigrated to the United States in 1933. Life and career[edit] In November 1914 Grosz volunteered for military service, in the hope that by thus preempting conscription he would avoid being sent to the front.[8] He was given a discharge after hospitalization for sinusitis in 1915.[8] In 1916 he changed the spelling of his name to George Grosz as a protest against German nationalism[7] and out of a romantic enthusiasm for America[9] that originated in his early reading of the books of James Fenimore Cooper, Bret Harte and Karl May, and which he retained for the rest of his life.[10] (His artist friend and collaborator Helmut Herzfeld changed his name to John Heartfield at the same time.)

Commemorative stamp Café Works[edit] Voltaire. French writer, historian and philosopher François-Marie Arouet (French: [fʁɑ̃swa maʁi aʁwɛ]; 21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire (;[5][6][7] also ,[8][9] French: [vɔltɛːʁ]), was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his criticism of Christianity—especially the Roman Catholic Church—as well as his advocacy of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.
