Love Above All and Other Drawings: 120 Works (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)

Not the best work of Grozs..presented drawings are weekly executed

An astonishing protrait of social relations around those years, really powerful drawings, Grosz one of my favs graphic artists, i really loved this book

If you love 20's Germany with von Stephanitz and his new German Shepherd, 3 Penny Opera & Mack the Knife...Metropolis and Fritz Lang, then you will just adore George Grosz with his incredible satire of 1920's Berlin right on the eve of destruction. These carciatures are striking, they are incredibly good and very realistic but so contemporaneous. I just love the texts that Grosz puts under his cartoons like Schillers "Swif if you can and if you are too weak, sink" for a stark contrast between rich and poor bon-vivants; or "Total Devotion" to the party-scene. I find this collection incredibly joyous and very inspiring but I have a black sense of humour.

It would have been nice to have some biographical info and historical context, but the drawings are sad but of great social interest.

Fantastic book. Drawings are both brutal and beautiful.

A good illustration of the anger and frustration of the Weimar republic. Freer and less self-censored than the finished works that may have arisen from the sketches.

I bought this book as a present and the Grosz lover far who received it confirmed he liked it because there are a lot of unseen drawings in this collection.
