Equally interesting are the excerpts from Grosz's poems and quotes from other writings, including his autobiography.
Overall, plenty of material from which the reader may develop personal views of Grosz and his work, rather than simply read about some expert's.
I'd not realised Grosz had moved to the U.S. immediately prior to the Nazi ascension to power in Germany, nor that he lived quite so late into the mid-20th century. Though he taught at several places in NYC, including his own studio (?), very little is made of his post-emigration work except to comment on how different and widely-held to be a failure it was. Grosz, himself, seemed to half-believe this.
Insight: Grosz changed his name from Georg to George partly in protest of the Prussian and Weimar war culture, and partly out of a romantic idealism for America. I often thought it was a crass Anglicisation whenever I read it that way in translation, and now I know better. ( )
