Biography:
After studying realism in Dresden, Dix was drafted into WWI and profoundly affected by his experiences with trench warfare. He then continued to study in Dresden and Dusseldorf, creating large-scale anti-war prints and collages. He later began dealing with other social messages, depicting beggars, prostitutes and veterans in his paintings. Outraged by the Weimar Republic and the Nazis, Dix began to criticize their politics in his work, and was therefore deemed as a degenerate and forced to resign from his teaching position. He then adopted a less controversial style, painting religious subjects in romantic and eventually expressionist style.
