Otto Dix

Otto Dix (2 December 1891 – 25 July 1969) was a German painter and printmaker best known for his unforgiving depiction of Weimar Society and the Great War from whence it was forged. Along with George Grosz and Max Beckmann, he is considered one of the most important artists of the Neue Sachlichkeit. He was a portraitist, he fought in WW1, he was inspired by old masters, he painted what he called 'Life Undiluted' and some of his works were confiscated by the Nazis.

All art is exorcism.
I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time.
Painting is the effort to produce order, order in yourself.
There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.
