- George Grosz (German/American, 1893-1959),
George Grosz (German/American, 1893-1959), Autographed Copy of 30 Drawings & Watercolors, New York: Erich S. Hermann, 1944, large quarto, spiral-bound boards, thirty plates, with an introduction by Walter Mehring, inscribed and autographed on the frontispiece by the artist, accompanied by a holiday card illustrated with an image from the text, "Act Study", plate 15. Provenance: The library of the late Gordon Maginnis, New Orleans, Louisiana. Berlin-born George Ehrenfried Grosz spent his childhood in Pomerania, the architecture of which figured in his early drawings. He was educated at the Royal Academy in Dresden and later the Berlin Art School under the tutelage of Emil Orlik. He lived in Paris for a few months in 1913, where he first began to produce the distinctive street and cafe scenes for which he would later become famous. Exempted as unfit for service after a brief and disillusioning stint in the army, he worked as an illustrator in Germany in the late teens and twenties, where he was quickly recognized as a shrewd satirist and caricaturist--avant-garde but accessable--and leader of the Berlin Dada. His flirtations with Communism (he knew both Lenin and Trotsky) were soon replaced by the complete disdain for dictatorial authority so evident in the drawings of his peak period. His work was denounced by both the reactionary elements of the Weimar Republic and the emergent National Socialists; he stood trial for his works "Gott mit uns" (1921), "Ecce Homo" (1923) and "Hintergrund" (1928), for, respectively, slander of the army, offense against morality and blasphemy. He taught as a guest professor at the New York Art Student's League in 1932 and returned there permanently the following year, expatriated by the Nazis; 285 works by him were removed from German museums in 1937, some of which formed part of the infamous "Degenerate Art" exhibit. Grosz taught and worked in the United States throughout World War II, vowing to return to his native Berlin; he did so in 1959 but died tragically the same year in a drunken fall down a flight of stairs. This famous edition of Grosz' works contains fine examples of his art, from the wry caricatures of society doyens which infuriated the old guard and amused the new, to the harrowing indictments of war and totalitarianism which engendered the enmity of the National Socialists and made him a champion of anti-Facism.
