Description

George Grosz's Autobiography is a provocative and humorous account of a world in chaos. Written by one of the 20th century's greatest satirical artists, this autobiography offers a graphic portrait of Germany after the Treaty of Versailles as much as it does a memoir of an artist's development. The book includes previously omitted chapters from Grosz's experiences in the Soviet Union and his twenty-year self-imposed exile in America. A new fable written in English adds to the spontaneity and energy of this restored translation, which brings back the original German text's humor and acuity. This autobiography is a unique blend of art and memoir, offering a fascinating glimpse into Grosz's life and work.
