George Grosz’s (1893-1959) Waltz Dream (1921) was published in 1923 as part of a collection of watercolors and drawings entitled Ecco Homo. The works in the collection satirize Weimar-era society and politics and resulted in a lawsuit against Grosz on the grounds of an “attack on public morals.” Grosz would sharpen and develop his style throughout the 1920s, attacking what he saw as a morally corrupt social and political order. His works have come to be seen as iconic representations of Weimar-era Berlin.
