Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix (1891-1969) was a German avant-garde artist who worked primarily in graphic art. With his work, the marginal Otto sought to make a shocking and unpleasant impression on viewers.

Otto Dix was born on December 2, 1891 in Gera (Germany). The artist was an avant-garde and dadaist artist, and was also a member of the New Objectivity. Otto is the founder of the Dresden Secession art group.

Otto Dix’s works are characterized by extremely unpleasant and pornographic images, with which he sought to demonstrate his vague point of view. Many of the artist’s paintings contained scenes of violence, including sexual violence.

Otto Dix’s degrading paintings were hotly disliked by his contemporaries in the 1920s and 1930s, and therefore it was only natural that Otto Dix was included in the list of degenerate artists. This fact turned the worthless artist into a “martyr”, now praised for the “brightness of his images” and rejection of traditional art… It is seriously depressing that it is now customary to praise artists who indulge the tastes of perverted bastards: murderers, sadists and pedophiles.

The artist Otto Dix was a member of the fascist people’s militia (Volkssturm) – he was captured at the end of the war, but released in 1946.

Otto Dix died on July 25, 1969 in the city of Singen.

No other German artist has depicted in his works the “apocalyptic hell of war”, death, violence and poverty so accurately, emotionally and mercilessly as Otto Dix did.

Otto Dix was known for his own unique and grotesque style. Although Hitler’s Nazi regime destroyed many of his works, most of his paintings can still be seen in museums in Germany.
