This art history video covers the life of Otto Dix was a German painter and printmaker, born on 2 December, 1891, in Untermhaus, Thuringia. He was a prominent figure in the New Objectivity movement, which emerged in Germany after World War I and aimed to capture the harsh realities of life in a modern, industrialized society.
Dix studied art in Dresden, and during World War I, served as a machine gunner on the Western Front. The horrors of war deeply affected him, and he would later produce a series of powerful anti-war works, including his famous triptych, "The War."
In the 1920s and 1930s, Dix established himself as one of Germany's most important artists, and his works were exhibited widely throughout Europe. He was known for his stark, realistic style, which often portrayed the darker aspects of society.
During the Nazi era, Dix's work was deemed "degenerate" and he was banned from exhibiting his art. He was even briefly imprisoned by the Gestapo. After the war, he continued to work as an artist and was eventually recognized as one of Germany's most important modern artists.
Otto Dix died on July 25, 1969, in Singen, Germany, at the age of 77. His legacy as a painter and printmaker continues to be celebrated today, and his works can be found in museums and galleries around the world.
