George Grosz






This guy's got doodiling down to an art, well I guess that's sort of a stupid statement to make.
Here's a quote that really sums up his work. His style and his content really intrigues me. I think, that my current series is something along the lines of George Grosz mixed with Brice Marden, or at least that's what i'm really striving for.
deeply disillusioned man, he saw humanity as essentially bestial and the city of Berlin as a sink of depravity and deprivation, its streets crowded with unprincipled profiteers, prostitutes, war-crippled dregs and a variety of perverts. A communist, his feeling of social outrage stimulated him to produce the most biting drawings and paintings. -Trewin Copplestone
