Otto Dix

Alternative title
Otto Dix: The Eye of the World
Synopsis
The psychological realism of the German painter Otto Dix (1891-1969) embodies the traumatised despair and violent decadence of Germany between the wars. As this video shows, Dix’s visionary creation of art from ugliness retains both its relevance and its power to shock.
