George Grosz


Hitler

George likes to relate his art to political issues. This piece has captured the issue at this time during the holocaust. I like the fact that he shows this horrible emotion on Hitlers face, he looks like he is sweating and taking a seat after what he has done as if he is satisfied. There is movement with the skeletons climbing up his pants,I like how he shows this strong emotion of these skeletons almost begging and it makes the viewer upset about what Hitler has done.There is a sense of depth from the shadow like figure dead on the ground, his feet are bigger than his head towards the back of the canvas.
