It presents the paintings and drawings of his two worlds~Germany after World War I ,and the America of New York, Cape Cod and Huntington, Long Island ~ in all their fascinating variety and complexity. Many of these, especially from the artist's American period, are published for the first time. Included are not only those items which fully reveal his familiar, passionate, social~protest artistry, but also works which for pure draftsmanship rank him with the masters. The essay by Grosz illuminates brilliantly the philosophy behind his works, particularly those of his later, American, period.
