George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Max Ernst, and Paul Klee were all active in different parts of Germany from the 19 10s through the 1930s (Ernst would relocate to Paris in 1922). Each was influenced by different aspects of Dada and became disaffected with traditional art forms, a disillusionment prompted by the political and social upheaval following World War I. The Museum owns twenty-two drawings by Grosz, thirty-nine by Schwitters, seventeen by Ernst, and forty-four by Klee. This selection show cases the depth and breadth of these holdings.
