 Otto Dix [1891-1969] - Featured Artist Lot on Artfact.com
Dix began to paint in Hegau under the tutelage of his friend Franz Lenk, but increasingly his landscapes grew to reflect the influence of the Old Masters, in particular the work of Breughel and of Caspar David Friedrich.
Dix often borrowed from Breughel's sweeping use of composition as seen from a high vantage point, and his obsession with details is another element that his landscape paintings share with those of the great Flemish master.
Dix would make studies from nature in the landsape and then work up the finished painting his studio, in many cases using the atmosphere and mood of the landscape as an allegory for the political climate of the times.

Although Otto Dix and Max Beckmann are sometimes seen as contrasting artists, a small yet powerful one-room exhibition of two print portfolios, Dix's Der Krieg (War) and Beckmann's Die Holle (Hell) at New York's Neue Galerie reveals analogies between the two, for all their differences of style and approach.
Both were steeped in the German tradition of Durer and Grunewald and this helped them to portray the horrors of the war with unusual exactitude.
However, Beckmann's is the earlier cycle, dating from 1919, while Dix's war scenes were produced in 1924.
