Summary
The Deichtorhallen Hamburg will present a large exhibition about Otto Dix and his influence on art up to the present in autumn 2023. The catalog features over 100 masterpieces by Otto Dix, most of them full-page. The first focus of the two-part exhibition, curated by Ina Jessen, focuses on Dix's supposedly apolitical work from the Nazi era, whereby the inner connection between political censorship, artistic conformity and oppositional iconography clearly emerges. The work of Otto Dix during the National Socialist era has so far played a rather subordinate role in the exhibition and research landscape. In order to do justice to Dix's landscapes, portraits and Christian subjects, the book places the painter, his work and his professional career in the artistic and political context of the Weimar Republic, National Socialism and the period shortly after the end of the war. The second focus of the exhibition and the catalog is on the artistic reception of Otto Dix in terms of subjects, iconography, style and technique. On the one hand, the show focuses on the changes in the socio-cultural conditions of the reception of Dix's work as well as the great fascination that his work exerts on around 40 of the world's best-known contemporary artists for the purpose of appropriation and reinterpretation. These include Yael Bartana, Monica Bonvicini, Marc Brandenburg, John Currin, Alice Neel, Nicolas Party, Cindy Sherman, Katharina Sieverding and Kara Walker.
