George Grosz (1893-1959) occupied the forefront of German Expressionism, Dadaism, and New Objectivity in the years prior to Hitler's rise to power. Denounced by the Nazis as a "Cultural Bolshevist" but also at odds with the German Communist Party, Grosz emigrated to New York in 1933. Barbara McCloskey's biography of the artist discloses the tense and uncertain relationship between vanguard art and revolutionary politics and sheds new light on the cultural crises of the 1930s.
