Otto Dix

Otto Dix was a Germain painter in Weimar Berlin. After serving in the first world war, he spent his time creating expressionist paintings which crudely documented the public of Weimar Berlin.

"She walked in one direction and he in the other. Dix stopped in his tracks. "I must paint you, I simply must! You represent an entire epoch.""
