As a part its World War 1 Revisited season, South Hill Park will host an exhibition from the Southbank Centre of one of the greatest satirical artists of the 20th century
A co-founder of the Berlin Dada group and a revolutionary in the 1920s, George Grosz made hundreds of drawings depicting the vices and injustices of a society on the brink of economic and moral collapse.
This exhibition presents two of his most powerful portfolios.Ecce Homo from 1923 was Grosz's largest portfolio, and shows him at the height of his satirical powers.
A monstrous menagerie of Berlin characters are presented through 84 black and white drawings and 16 watercolours capturing the ugliness and corruption of a society divided between fascism and communism.
Hintergrund's anti-militarist message resulted in criminal charges against the artist in 1928 for blasphemy and defamation of the German military.
George Grosz: The Big NO is at South Hill Park from Friday, April 18 to Sunday, June 15.
