Marked by the experience, he made monumental, difficult and powerful works about it. Whereas Dix has often been presented as a lone voice of reason and opposition in Germany between the wars, this book locates his work squarely in the mainstream of Weimar society. Informed by recent studies of collective remembrance, of camaraderie, and of the popular, working-class socialist groups that commemorated the war, this book takes Dix?s very public, monumental works out of the isolation of the artist?s studio and returns them to a context of public memorials, mass media depictions, and the communal search for meaning in the war. The author argues that Dix sought to establish a community of veterans through depictions of the war experience that used the soldier?s humorous, grotesque language of the trenches and that deliberately excluded women and other non-combatants. His depictions were preoccupied with heteronormativity in the context of intimate touch and tenderness between soldiers at the front and with sexual potency in the face of debilitating wounds suffered by others in the war. 600 10 $a Dix, Otto, $d 1891-1969 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Dix, Otto, $d 1891-1969. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00009549 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Art and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Germany. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 830 0 $a German visual culture ; $v v. 6. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014639.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003013055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8BB8ADB66CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
