Binding: Intact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work in art history biography, this authoritative account chronicles the turbulent life of George Grosz, one of the most provocative and politically charged artists of the twentieth century. Born in Berlin in 1893, Grosz rose to infamy as a leading figure in the Dada and New Objectivity movements, wielding his savage, satirical pen against the corrupt militarism and bourgeois hypocrisy of Weimar Germany. M. Kay Flavell presents a meticulously researched portrait that uncovers the psychological and socio-political forces that shaped Grosz's biting visual commentary, from his early Berlin years through his eventual emigration to the United States. Drawing on personal correspondence, diaries, and archival sources, the biography illustrates how Grosz's art was inseparable from his restless, combative personality and his lifelong struggle to reconcile artistic integrity with commercial survival. This is an essential volume for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of art, politics, and exile in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887974461659,"sku":"2026100006724-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/43601850-5745-4bc0-91b0-a7e05179318f.png?v=1781751502","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006724-secondhand-george-grosz-a-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
