Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, The Berlin of George Grosz: Drawings, Watercolours and Prints 1912–1930 presents a comprehensive survey of the German expressionist and New Objectivity master's output across nearly two decades — a period that witnessed war, revolution, inflation, and the intoxicating, doomed freedoms of the Weimar Republic.\n\nThis authoritative volume illustrates Grosz's unrivalled ability to distil social satire and political fury into compositions teeming with grotesque capitalists, wounded soldiers, and the frenetic street life of a metropolis in perpetual crisis. His draftsmanship, by turns tender and brutal, argues for art as an act of moral witness, and Yale University Press's meticulous production ensures the full dynamic range of his works — from intimate watercolour studies to large-scale prints — is rendered with scholarly fidelity. For anyone seeking to understand how art and history collide in moments of societal rupture, this is an essential and deeply unsettling testament.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203108413659,"sku":"2026100009510-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/65f89d1c-ae9f-4dde-8f85-1a23d3f863e2.png?v=1788143890","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009510-secondhand-the-berlin-of-george-grosz-drawings-watercolours-and-prints-1912-1930","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
