1916
A new name: Georg Groß becomes George Grosz
To 'de-Germanise' and internationalise his name, Grosz changes its spelling: Georg becomes the English 'George' and the German 'ß' in his surname is replaced by 'sz'. It is a protest against German nationalism and a romantic enthusiasm for America, drawn from the books of James Fenimore Cooper, Bret Harte and Karl May; his friend and collaborator Helmut Herzfeld likewise becomes John Heartfield at the same time.
1918
A founder of Berlin Dada
Grosz settles in Berlin and becomes one of the founders of Berlin Dada, using his satirical drawings to attack the bourgeois supporters of the Weimar Republic.
1918–1919
Joining the Spartacist League, later the KPD
Following the November Revolution Grosz joins the Spartacist League, which is renamed the Communist Party of Germany in December 1918.
