Otto Dix德国, 1891–1969The Procuress
关于作品
Otto Dix’s satiric images savaged Germany’s upper middle class, laying bare depravity and hypocrisy. Neither Venus nor Cupid satisfied the needs of this society; here the matchmaker is a procuress, a brothel madam.

与此同时，在Otto Dix的生活中
完整生平1920s
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.
1921
Meeting Martha Koch
Dix meets the metalsmith Martha Koch; they will marry in 1923 and have three children, and she becomes a frequent subject of his portraits.

The Trench scandal: Adenauer cancels the purchase
The Trench causes such a furor that the Wallraf-Richartz Museum hides the painting behind a curtain; in 1925 the then-mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer, cancels the purchase of the painting and forces the museum's director to resign.
1925
The Neue Sachlichkeit exhibition in Mannheim
