[ Johnathan Jones 2013] George Grosz was in the military when realised he came home to his town of Berlin to see such a change. Within his autobiography he says how he was shock and disgusted with how people were acting. It made me loathe Berlin.
He started drawing pictures of people on the street of Berlin, men puking people having fights.
He showed people for what they truly were and what they looked like underneath.
One of his most famous exhibitions was 'Ecce Homo' this consisted of 100 paintings capturing the ugliness and corruption of Berlin as a society.
This artist really inspires me to create my Emcee look in the style of his drawings. I think my Emcee has an underlying drug habit that you don't see with all the makeup and the clown act he puts on. Although I don't want my final image to be a painting I want it to have the feeling that it's inspiration is from George Grosz paintings.
