The deployment of atomic bombs at the end of the war, and the threat of a Third World War, further deepened his pessimistic vision of mankind's future. He presented his "Stickmen" as dehumanized, famished beings aimlessly wandering through a contaminated, post-apocalyptic world. The catalogue forcefully contradicting the widespread misconception that Grosz had become "soft" and apolitical during his American years. The contrary is true: his Stick Men series is the culmination of the political and artistic convictions of a lifetime of struggle - an artistic legacy that, given the current state of the world, could not be more timely and relevant." -- Provided by publisher 500 $a Catalog of an exhibition held at Das kleine Grosz Museum, Berlin, May 25-October 30, 2023; and the Heckscher Museum of Art, Huntington, May 11-September 1, 2024. 546 $a Parallel texts in English and German. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $g Foreword / $r Karli Wurzelbacher. $g Foreword / $r George Grosz in Berlin e.V. -- $t "Demons in the suburbs" George Grosz on Long Island / $r Pay Matthis Karstens and Juerg Judin -- $t Works -- $t George Grosz : the stick men Associated American Artists Gallery 12 April - 1 May 1948 / $r Alice Delage -- $t "Demons in the suburbs" George Grosz on Long Island / $r Karli Wurzelbacher. 600 10 $a Grosz, George, $d 1893-1959 $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a Grosz, George, $d 1893-1959. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00011090 655 7 $a exhibition catalogs. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300026096 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Catalogues d'exposition. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001063 710 2 $a Kleine Grosz Museum, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Heckscher Museum of Art, $e host institution. 700 1 $a Grosz, George, $d 1893-1959. 700 1 $a Wallis, Wendy, $e translator. 700 1 $a Engelmann, Herwig, $e translator. 830 0 $a Kleine Grosz Museum (Cologne, Germany) ; $v v. 3. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417025209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A534908CFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
