Abstract

A German Caricaturist

This article provides information about the books related to the work of German painter and caricaturist George Grosz. The two books are: "Das Neue Gesicht der Herrschenden Klasse" and "Die Gezezchneten." Of the present two collections, "Die Gezeichneten" contains sixty drawings culled from earlier collections and chosen to illustrate the artist's development over a period of fifteen years. "Das Neue Gesicht der Herrschenden Kiasse" a sequel to Grosz's famous collection called "The Face of the Ruling Class," besides containing some older material and some of Grosz's purely political cartoons, includes a few drawings which manifest, by the delightful way in which they catch actual types, characterizing rather than caricaturing them, that they are of recent date.
