That harrowing experience left its mark on him and haunts his work. After trying out the various movements of the period–Cubism, Futurism and Dadaism–Dix became the central figure of the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), which emerged in the 1920s. Its credo: to represent the unvarnished truth. Dix’s unflinching, often acerbic depiction of inter-war society is evident in his famous portrait of Anita Berber, the scandalous cabaret dancer, actress, bisexual and prostitute. Like Anita, Dix did not go unnoticed, but for different reasons. His paintings were declared "degenerate" by the Nazi regime. They were banned from exhibition, and some were burned. He lost his position as professor of art, was arrested by the Gestapo and was imprisoned for two weeks. After the War, Otto Dix painted little, and died of a heart attack in 1969. It is high time that we discover his work.
