An invitation to teach in New York
Bitterly anti-Nazi, Grosz accepts an invitation to teach the summer semester at the Art Students League of New York; in October 1932 he returns to Germany.
1933
A break with the past: a new style and subjects
In America Grosz resolves to make a clean break with his past and changes his style and subject matter: in place of his corrosive vision of the city he paints conventional nudes and many landscape watercolours. In his autobiography he writes that much that had frozen within him in Germany melted in America and that he deliberately destroyed a part of his past.
12 – 23 January 1933
Emigration to the United States
On 12 January 1933 Grosz and his family emigrate to the United States; their ship docks in New York on 23 January, a week before Hitler comes to power in Berlin.
1933–1945
