David Nolan Gallery is pleased to present George Grosz: Politics and His Influence, on view from September 8 through October 22. Centering on the artistic innovations of George Grosz, the exhibition will explore a variety of modern and contemporary artists engaging with the themes of social critique, war, and civil unrest. The exhibition will feature a room dedicated to Grosz's key early works from the 1920's through the 1940's, presented in collaboration with the George Grosz Estate.
In the main gallery we will present a group of American and European artists who were similarly affected by world events of the mid-20th century: from the conflict in Vietnam, to the Cold War and tyranny in contemporary society.
David Nolan notes, “Artists have always been involved in depicting the past and predicting the future. They help us question and reconsider darker elements in society, world figures, and nightmares through which we elevate our minds and souls. Grosz, like many other artists, was affected by this imagery, and holds a dominant position in the history of political art through his depictions of the First World War, communism, the Spanish Civil War, and the rise of Adolf Hitler. Using world events as their source material, subsequent artists have continued to address war, politics, and oppression.”
