The oeuvre of George Grosz is closely related to the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) movement. Grosz’s most representative works, many of which fortunately made their way to the International Cultural Centre exhibition, had been created under the Weimer Republic.

The exhibited drawings and watercolours testified to the Grosz’s style which was characterised by a simplified form and a combination of deformity with grotesque and satire. The artist’s drawings and paintings, all powerfully expressive and distinctive, always provided the current situation with an appropriate commentary and were permeated with a harsh critique of the bourgeoisie.
