Otto Dix: The Painter Is the Eyes of the World Movie Review 1989

Otto Dix's harshly realistic paintings are explored here. At the start of his career his work was considered vulgar, not fit for the eyes. Later, it was banned by the Nazis, but always he fought and struggled to present his view of the ugliness of war. Stripping away the political context that justifies war, Otto Dix shows what it really is: pain, mutilation, and horror.
