George Grosz (* July 26, 1893 as Georg Ehrenfried Groß in Berlin; † July 6, 1959 ibid.) was a German-American painter, graphic artist, caricaturist and war opponent. George Grosz's social and socio-critical paintings and drawings of Verism, most of which were created in the 1920s, are classified as New Objectivity. These works are characterized by sometimes drastic and provocative depictions and often by political statements. However, his work also bears expressionist, dadaist and futurist traits.
