▪️Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix was German avant-garde artist and graphic artist, the most brutal satirist of the era between the two world wars. After the expressionist and Dadaist experiments, he participated in the “New materiality” association. Here are some facts about the artist:
⠀
🔻German artist Otto Dix was a committed painter of portraits. At a time when photography had diminished portraiture’s importance and the genre was seen as a deeply unfashionable pursuit for so-called serious artists, he was making a living – and cementing his reputation – out of exactly that.
⠀
🔻Dix was a key supporter of the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) movement, a name coined after an exhibition held in Mannheim, Germany in 1925.
⠀
🔻When the N***s came to power in 1933, Dix was dismissed from his professorship teaching art at the Dresden Academy, where he had worked since 1927. The reason given was that, through his painting, he had committed a ‘violation of the moral sensibilities and subversion of the militant spirit of the German people.
⠀
🔻In the years following, some 260 of his works were confiscated by the N**i Propaganda Ministry.

▪️Amedeo Modilgiani was an early 1900s Italian painter who worked primarily in Paris. The following are some interesting facts about him
⠀
🔻Beatrice Hastings, Pablo Picasso and André Salmon are among the numerous literary and artistic figures that orbited Modigliani’s bohemian life in Paris. To those family and friends, he was known by the nickname Dedo.
⠀
🔻On December 3, 1917, Modigliani debuted his first and only solo exhibition at Berthe Weill’s gallery in Paris. His show boasted a display of 30 drawings and paintings commissioned by friend and dealer Leopold Zborovski. The artist’s n**e figures became the subject of public scandal, and the police shut down the show within hours.
⠀
🔻Modigliani was said to regularly recite Dante and other poets from memory. He also painted a number of well-known contemporary poets and writers including Blaise Cendrars, Guillaume Apollinaire and Jean Cocteau.
⠀
🔻He spent the majority of his life in destitution. He was largely unsuccessful in selling his work, and, when he did, it was never for very much (and most of the money he earned was used to support his substance abuse)

▪️Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was German painter and printmaker who was one of the leaders of a group of Expressionist artists known as Die Brücke (“The Bridge”). His mature style was highly personal and notable for its psychological tension and eroticism. Here are some facts about the artist:
⠀
🔻Kirchner’s use of colour for visual impact may be seen in Girl under Japanese Umbrella (1906) and Artist and His Model (1907), works that show a superficial affinity with the paintings of Henri Matisse and the Fauves in France.
⠀
🔻From 1905 to 1910 Dresden hosted exhibitions of Post-Impressionism, including the work of Vincent van Gogh, as well as shows featuring Gustav Klimt, Edvard Munch, and the Fauves, who deeply impressed Kirchner. Other important influences were Japanese prints, and African and Oceanic art
⠀
🔻Much of Kirchner’s work exhibits his preoccupation with malevolence and eroticism.
⠀
🔻Kirchner's work continues to be exhibited and sold around the world. It has also been a significant influence on new generations of Expressionists, including artists such as Georg Baselitz and Jörg Immendorf.

▪️Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of German Expressionism. He was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it. To know more about Franz Marc, here are the following facts:
⠀
🔻Franz Marc viewed animals as god-like creatures. Like the naturalists, Marc came to value the rural wonders of the country. He abandoned the bustle and urban intellectualism of Munich, and sought the spirituality and peace he believed could be found in living simply, as animals do. He began to think of them as having a "god-like presence and power."
⠀
🔻“Yellow cow” is a very large painting. Measuring 55 3/8 by 74 1/2 inches, it's nearly 5 by 6 feet wide (140.5 x 189.2 cm).
⠀
🔻Marc developed his own color symbolism. Colors would recur in Marc's work and speak to different emotions or themes
⠀
🔻“Yellow cow” might be an unconventional wedding portrait. Exploring the painter's works and statements on his use of color, art historian Mark Rosenthal declared that the frolicking cow is actually a veiled depiction of Marc's second wife Maria Franck, while the distant blue mountains are meant to represent the painter himself.

▪️Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter known for creating the first purely abstract paintings. His works appealed to a universal audience by using form and color to represent sound and human emotion. For more about Kandinsky, here are the following facts:
⠀
🔻Kandinsky left his successful career to become an artist. He followed his family’s wishes and studied law, economics, and ethnography at university. He graduated with honors and became a professor in law education.
⠀
🔻He believed art and music went hand in hand. This famous quote sums up his penchant to equate painting with composing music: “Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.”
⠀
🔻He designed interiors, clothes and furniture and created sketches for painting on porcelain. He also was interested in photography and cinematography.
⠀
🔻For Kandinsky, colors had value in themselves not connected to the subject matter of a painting. He called his paints “animate creatures” and believed they had the power to get right to the soul of the beholder.
