two prints from ‘the war’ series (1924) - otto dix
otto dix served in the war of 1914-18 as an artillery gunner in the trenches. the german expressionist recreated the images that he saw in his nightmares in this series of prints, titled ‘the war’. for dix, prints like this were an exorcism of the horrors he saw.
