George Grosz (born Georg Ehrenfried Groß) was a German draughtsman and painter whose satirical, corrosive work came to epitomize urban life in 1920s Berlin. A member of the Berlin Dada avant‑garde and the New Objectivity, he became known for caricatures that criticized militarism, social hypocrisy and institutions, often published in albums and shown in exhibitions that provoked lawsuits and controversy.
Politically engaged in the upheavals after the First World War, he briefly joined the communist movement and traveled to the Soviet Union, while maintaining independent positions on art and culture. His mordant iconography denounced both state violence and the ideological uses of religion, while satirizing the corruption and decay of urban society.
Persecuted as the Nazis rose to power, he emigrated to the United States in 1933 and became an American citizen in 1938. In the US he gradually abandoned the harsher subjects of his Berlin period, turning to teaching and regular exhibitions—most notably at the Art Students League of New York—and establishing a lasting influence among critical artists of the twentieth century.
He returned to Berlin in 1959 and died shortly thereafter; his work remains a touchstone for politically engaged art and the satirical depiction of modern crises.
