In der Zeit des Ersten Weltkrieges entstandene Zeichnung in dem für die frühe Schaffenszeit charakteristischen eckigen Zeichnungsstil. Die Zeichnung gehört zu einer Serie von Illustrationen zu dem Buch „Der Liebesturm“ der Autorin Rachilde (d.i. Marguerite Vallette-Eymery).
Karl Ehrenfried Groß hatte sich als Infanterist freiwillig gemeldet, wurde aber 1915 als untauglich entlassen. Als eigentlicher Kriegsgegner legte er wie auch Helmut Herzfeld (John Heartfield) seinen deutschen Namen ab und nannte sich ab 1916 George Grosz. Guter Zustand. (980992) (18)
George Grosz
1893 Berlin – 1959 Berlin
SAILOR WITH HARPOON, around 1916
Pencil on paper watermarked “Erglass Schreibmaschinen Papier”.
Verso with the faded estate stamp and the handwritten inventory number “6/113/10” as well as dated by the estate.
The drawing was created during World War I in the typical style of the early period. It belongs to a series of illustrations which Grosz created for the book by the author Rachilde (Marguerite Vallette-Eymery) „The Tower of Love“.Karl Ehrenfried Groß volunteered for the infantry but was dismissed in 1915. Like Helmut Herzfeld (John Heartfield) being in opposition to the war he changed his German name into George Grosz in 1916. Good condition.
