George Grosz

He was a prominent member of the Berlin Dadaists. He was friends with the artist John Heartfield, together they wrote a book entitled "Jedermann sein eigner Fussball" (meaning "everyman his own football"). It included two photomontages by the artists themselves.
I put this in because he recalled that his dada art was intended as a protest "against this world of mutual destruction".


"[Dadaists] expressed their rejection of [capitalist society] in artistic expression that appeared to reject logic and embrace chaos and irrationality."
