Twilight

Twilight
German-born artist George Grosz is known for merciless caricatures of his fellow Germans, and he was among the first German artists to openly criticize the Nazi party. Twilight (1922, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain) depicts the indifference of the well-to-do toward a wounded veteran who has been reduced to begging.
