GEORGE GROSZ — Der Spiesser-Spiegel & Das neue Gesicht d - Lot 103

GEORGE GROSZ — Der Spiesser-Spiegel & Das neue Gesicht der herrschenden Klasse Munich, Makol Verlag, circa 1970–1980. Illustrated paperback, in-4 format. A collection of satirical drawings featuring two major series by George Grosz devoted to criticizing the German bourgeoisie and political elites. Through his incisive and deliberately distorting line, the artist presents a gallery of grotesque characters that includes profiteers, military figures, prostitutes, petty bourgeois, and war profiteers. This volume is part of the Makol Verlag series of reissues that have brought Grosz’s graphic work back into the spotlight among European collectors. The illustrations reproduce some of the caricatures most representative of the artist’s biting wit during the years of the Weimar Republic.
