Known for his politically charged paintings and caricatural depictions of Berlin life in the 1920s, the youthful Gross had a long way to go before changing his name and becoming the most popular and sharp-tongued chronicler of the Weimar Republic. Gross made his first oil paintings in 1912 while still a student, and by 1914 was working in a style deeply influenced by Expressionism, Futurism and popular illustration. Presenting over 50 works made between the years 1904 and 1917, all but a few exhibited for the first time ever, the inaugural exhibition of Das kleine Grosz Museum, and this accompanying catalog, trace the artistic and biographical trajectory of this great artist's journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHardcover \u003cbr\u003e178 pages \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWalther Konig, 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8.25 x 1 x 11 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9783753302041\u003cbr\u003eArtist Monograph, Arts \u0026amp; Photography Criticism \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45374448337064,"sku":"9783753302041","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/GrossbeforeGroszCover.jpg?v=1697823140","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/gross-before-grosz-the-early-years","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
