Otto Dix Biography, Art, and Analysis of Works "Art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time." Synopsis Otto Dix has been perhaps more influential than any other German painter in shaping the popular image of the Weimar Republic of the 1920s. fierce pussy: about us fierce pussy is a collective of queer women artists. Formed in New York City in 1991 through our immersion in AIDS activism during a decade of increasing political mobilization around gay rights, fierce pussy brought lesbian identity and visibility directly into the streets. Low-tech and low budget, the collective responded to the urgency of those years, using readily available resources: old typewriters, found photographs, our own baby pictures, and the printing supplies and equipment accessible in our

Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum Berlin Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum Berlin At the end of May 1986, the Berlin painter and art dealer Hans Pels-Leusden, who died in April 1993, opened in a former upper-class home in the Fasanenstraße the privately directed Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum Berlin. Metropolis - George Grosz The transformation of the city into a vast metropolis was one of the subjects that most fascinated early twentieth-century painters, and Grosz was no exception. One of the many artists anxious to capture these rapid, constant changes, he painted this vision of Berlin at the height of the First World War in an Expressionist style in which red is the dominant colour. In it he uses Cubist and Futurist devices, a very rigid perspective and overlapping figures to convey the frenzied pace of city life. Yet whereas other painters provide a highly optimistic interpretation, Grosz—marked by his personal wartime experience—offers us an apocalyptic vision, stressing the alienation of man as he plunges headlong towards self-destruction. Metropolis is a significant work on account of its underlying history.

Honoré Daumier Honoré-Victorin Daumier (French: [ɔnɔʁe domje]; February 26, 1808 – February 10, 1879) was a French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor, whose many works offer commentary on social and political life in France in the 19th century. Daumier produced over 500 paintings, 4000 lithographs, 1000 wood engravings, 1000 drawings and 100 sculptures. A prolific draughtsman, he was perhaps best known for his caricatures of political figures and satires on the behavior of his countrymen, although posthumously the value of his painting has also been recognized.[1] Life[edit] Daumier was born in Marseille to Jean-Baptiste Louis Daumier and Cécile Catherine Philippe.

The Third-Class Carriage Analysis The Third-Class Carriage Honoré Daumier The Third-Class Carriage Honoré Daumier The Third-Class Carriage Honoré Daumier The background takes up more space than the foreground and is highly detailed. From what little one can see of their dress, it is presumed that those in the background are of a higher class station. They talk animatedly amongst themselves and a few are turned toward the direction of the third-class passengers but no one engages them directly. The family of four sits in the opposite direction, which emphasizes their isolation from the rest of the travelers.
