"The Pillars of Society"

George Grosz (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 108 x 200 cm - 1926 - (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Berlin, Germany)) (i) - Dadaism (i)
“The Pillars of Society” is a portrait that satirizes the elite supporters of Fascism that dominated post-war Germany in 1926. Similar to a lot of paintings in his oeuvre that belong to this era, it passed a scathing critique of everything he considered to be corrupt in Germany’s bourgeois community. Grosz manages to employ his fleshed out caricature skills to create lucid, morbid, and gruesome imagery that symbolised fascist forces in Germany. Noble people involved in the church and in commerce are represented as uncaring and vicious people instead of being represented in accordance with their material prosperity and refined lifestyle. As one of the pioneers of the “New Objectivity Movement” also known as “Neue Sachlikeit” in German, his grudge against post-war terrors was eloquently present in the biting satires where he painted the face of latent dehumanization.
