Manner im Raum. Illustration ''100% Roman eines Patrioten'' von Upton Sinclair (double-sided)
1920
This double sided work by George Grosz illustrates Upton Sinclair's "100% Roman eines Patrioten" (100% Patriot), employing India ink, pen, and pencil to depict a figure within an interior space. Grosz's expressionistic style captures the satirical and critical tone of Sinclair's text through sharp, angular linework that conveys psychological intensity and social commentary. The work exemplifies Grosz's characteristic approach to political illustration during the Weimar period, using formal distortion to interrogate themes of patriotism and national identity.
