Description: His grotesque and satirical paintings of the 1920s have long been entrenched in the public consciousness. But what were Otto Dix's (1891-1969) thoughts beyond the realms of art, and what were his opinions? In contrast to his fellow artists Paul Klee, Max Beckmann and George Grosz, the artist did not publish texts or author books. This makes access to his personal correspondence from the previously unpublished letters in his estate all the more valuable. A selection of more than one thousand documents provides a direct take on the social circumstances of his time.
