1957 Offset Lithograph Circus George Grosz Party Performer German XAP9
Grosz was a part of the avant-garde, modernist movement called Expressionism. It originated in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century and remained popular during the Weimar culture in the 1930s. It aims to present the world from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. Artists in this movement sought to express meaning or emotional experience rather than physical reality.

Grosz, George (1893-1959)
Popular German artist George Grosz was known for his caricatures of life in Berlin during the 1920s. Before he emigrated to the United States in the early 1930s he was a member of both the Dada movement and a verist of the New Objectivity group in Weimar Republic of Germany. While in the US, he ventured away from caricatures, preferring instead to focus on landscapes and watercolors.
