Derweil im Leben von Otto Dix
Das ganze Leben1920s
A ruthless chronicle of Weimar Germany
Like Grosz, Dix is extremely critical of contemporary German society, unsparingly depicting prostitution, violence, old age and death and often dwelling on Lustmord, or sexualized murder. His legless and disfigured veterans, a common sight on Berlin's streets in the 1920s, reveal the ugly side of war and the forgotten status of these men in German society.

A rare statement of method: the object comes first
In one of his few statements, published in 1927, Dix declares that the object is primary and that form is shaped by the object.

Attacks on “Metropolis” in Dresden
When Metropolis is exhibited in Dresden for the first time, Bettina Feistel-Rohmeder, a founding member of the German Art Society, pillories both Dix personally and his depiction of German society in the society's art bulletin. The society had defined Dix as one of Germany's most 'degenerate' artists long before the Nazis took power.
