Unit 6 Lesson 1 A Matter of Taste 课件 1.pptVIP

* In the roughly square format, fire-red painting Metropolis, (1916-17), one notes that Grosz employed dynamic diagonals well before the Russian Revolution had made them a symbol of social upheaval. This image of a Berlin intersection shows a crowd in mass panic; though the scene is reminiscent of an earthquake, the cause of the pandemonium is not really disclosed. Grosz sketched the scene in a military hospital before he was released as unfit for duty in World War 1. In this image, as in the calamitous city scene in Dedicated to Oskar Panizza (1917-18), he was clever enough to merely suggest the inferno that he suspected lay ahead.
