Im still in High School and im doing a project on Grosz, all i can really think about is what this man must have felt towards the world during his time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921293226506503314.post-18950753486836900102010-04-23T13:06:41.889-07:002010-04-23T13:06:41.889-07:00Thanks for the comment, Anonymous poster.
Yes, I ...Thanks for the comment, Anonymous poster.<br /><br />Yes, I like his work, but I'm not entirely sure why. It just reaches down and grabs me. I have a very strong reaction to his work, but I'm not sure why, or what to call it. Is it that it's all too familiar? The fat businessmen, the poor citizens, wounded soldiers, corrupt society. Different countries, eras, yet there's something so familiar in his work.Fiona Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907366833096699328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921293226506503314.post-29639594392016269212010-04-23T12:41:59.313-07:002010-04-23T12:41:59.313-07:00I first saw reproductions of Grosz's work whil...I first saw reproductions of Grosz's work while in High school. The impact was unforgettable. I had wit enough to percieve that it was not only Germany that was being portrayed, rather, it was the whole, sorry human condition.<br /> To dismiss Grosz as a political extremist misses the mark by a long shot. His politics were part of his art, with an extreme position being much more easily understood than any sophisticated subtlety.<br /> He was one of many sensitive souls driven to the edge of madness by the cruel conditions which humanity suffers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
