In spite of its crushing defeat in war, in the Roaring Twenties the country enjoyed a period of uninhibited revelry that was also marked by political, social and economic upheavals. Otto Dix (1891-1969), the most shocking major artist among many during this interwar period, was an uncompromising witness to a troubled society. Scarred by wartime service at the front, he turned his unflinching gaze on his contemporaries, from the battlefields to the streets, saloons and brothels of the Weimar Republic to the rise of the Third Reich. Much admired in his native Germany, Dix has been long neglected in the United States and Canada. ⁒ouge Cabaret: The Terrifying and Beautiful World of Otto Dix,†co-organized by the Neue Galerie New York, where it has already been seen, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, Canada,.where it is on view through January 2, goes a long way toward establishing the artist⁳ standing in this hemisphere.
