Otto Dix German Artist

Otto Dix (1891–1969) was a German painter and printmaker known for his unflinching depictions of war and the darker sides of society. A key figure in the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement, his work reflected the horrors of World War I, in which he served as a soldier. His famous pieces like *"The War"* (1924) and *"War Cripples"* (1920) focus on the brutal realities of battle and its aftermath. After the Nazis labeled his work "degenerate," he lost his teaching position but continued to paint, shifting to religious and allegorical themes later in life.
