Otto Dix.... very interesting... after looking at the rest of his work of arts only one stood out to me. This painting elaborates color, feature, image, and depiction. World War II could be looked at in so many ways. Otto extrapolates the very image of what WWII was absolutely about. In this painting you immediately grab the image of white. What does that exactly mean? It takes you away from the rest of the image that your ignorance refuses to see. Look into the piece of art much thoroughly and deeper and you begin to grasp at detail. There's 5 individuals in the painting and each person could be taken away from the image they depict. Take down each soldier and it posterizes what WWII was and used to be. Stalemate, gas warfare, and shellshock. Each soldier can be a ghost; living or not living and yet his image and soul continues to carry on. Otto Dix is an extremely talented artist and I look forward to each of his paintings.
