'''''The War''''' (German: ''Der Krieg'') is a series of 50 [[drypoint]] and [[aquatint]] [[etching]]s by German artist [[Otto Dix]], catalogued by [[Florian Karsch]] as K.70 to K.119. The prints were published in Berlin in 1924 by , in an edition which included separate high quality [[folio]] prints, and a lower-quality version with 24 prints bound together. It is often compared to [[Francisco Goya]]'s series of 82 engravings ''[[The Disasters of War]]''. The [[British Museum]], which holds a complete set of the folio prints, has described the series as "Dix's central achievement as a graphic artist"; the auction house [[Christie's]] has described it as " one of the finest and most unflinching depictions of war in western art".
==Background==
Dix was born in 1891, and studied art in [[Dresden]] before the First World War. He was conscripted in 1915, and served in the [[Imperial German Army]] as a machine gunner on both the [[Eastern Front (World War I)|Eastern Front]] and the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]]. After the war, he returned to study at the [[Dresden Academy of Fine Arts]], and then in Italy. He was a founder of the short-lived avante-garde [[Dresdner Sezession]] art group, and then supported the [[post-expressionist]] [[New Objectivity]] movement.
His horrific experiences in the trenches inspired the [[Anti-war movement|anti-war art]] he created after 1920. Dix came to public attention when featured by [[Theodor Däubler]] in in 1920. In 1921, Otto Dix met , an art dealer in Berlin, who became his agent and publisher. Dix's large anti-war painting ''[[The Trench (Dix)|The Trench]]'' ("Der Schützengraben") caused great controversy when first exhibited in Cologne in 1923. It was confiscated as [[degenerate art]] (''Entartete Kunst'') by the Nazis, and lost during the Second World War.
Dix's reputation for controversy continued in 1925, when he successfully defended himself against charges of indecency following exhibitions in Berlin and Darmstadt of two paintings of prostitutes. He became a professor at the Dresden Academy in 1927, and returned to anti-war sentiments for his 1929 to 1932 triptych, also entitled ''[[The War (Dix triptych)|The War]]'' (''De Krieg''), the central panel of which reworks themes from ''The Trench'': this painting been held by the [[Galerie Neue Meister]] in Dresden since 1968.
==Description==
Dix's ''War'' prints were published in 1924, the tenth anniversary of the outbreak of the war, as an antidote to the heroic interpretation of the war. Dix had seen saw Goya's series of 82 engravings ''[[The Disasters of War]]'' in Basel: he was inspired by Goya's etching technique that combined etching and aquatint to depict horrific scenes from the [[Napoleonic Wars]] in Spain, and created a similar series of etchings of atrocities from the First World War.
Among the other influences on Dix's prints were the works of [[Urs Graf]], [[Jacques Callot]]'s ''[[Les Grandes Misères de la guerre|Miseries of War]]'' print series, and [[Goya]]'s painting ''[[The Third of May 1808]]''. Some of the scenes also draw inspiration from preparatory sketches for his 1923 painting ''The Trench'', and others from a visit to the [[Catacombe dei Cappuccini|catacombs]] in [[Palermo]] in 1923-24, and the wartime photographs of , published as ''[[Krieg dem Kriege]]'' ("War against War") in 1924.
Dix studied with in Düsseldorf to improve his etching prowess before embarking on the prints.
In the series, Dix depicts scenes of executions and famine, with trenches and corpses amid the desolate landscapes in Flanders and the Somme. He shows images of emaciated and decaying corpses, grimacing skeletons, bodies crucified or impaled on barbed wire, the wounded with bulging eyes and open flesh, in a hallucinatory [[dance macabre]]. The prints are based on wartime photographs, hundreds of sketches that Dix made during the war, and his own memories.
Ten of the prints highlight the disproportionate burdens borne by soldiers in different branches of the armed forces: the infantrymen are mutilated, wounded, suffer, go mad and die, while sailors binge with prostitutes. One his prints, ''Soldat und Nonne'' ("Soldier and nun", K.120), a graphic image of a soldier attempting to rape a nun) was withdrawn from the series before it was published, but another ''Soldat und Hure'' ("Solder and whore", K.105) was included under the title ''Besuch bei Madame Germaine in Méricourt'' ("Visit to Madame Germaine's in Méricourt").
The etchings measure approximately , printed on cream-coloured paper approximately . They series was published in Berlin by , as a folio of fifty engravings, in five portfolios of ten etchings each, entitled ''Der Krieg'' ("The War"). Dix gave each engraving a title, location, and description, and they were arranged into sets of ten without taking into account any chronological or temporal order, or the order in which the plates were made. They were printed by in an edition of 70, with the portfolios priced at 300 [[Reichsmarks]] each, or all five for 1000 Marks. Nierendorf also published a book containing with an introduction by the author [[Henri Barbusse]], in an edition of 10,000 priced at just 1.20 Marks, later increased to 2.40 Marks.
==Reception==
Nierendorf collaborated with the pacifist to circulate the prints throughout Germany. They were an instant critical and popular success, praised for their depiction of the horrific reality of modern warfare in the First World War, but also controversial. In the 1930s, many of Dix's works were condemned as [[degenerate art]] (''Entartete Kunst'') by the Nazi party. A complete set of Dix's ''War'' prints held by the [[Kupferstichkabinett Berlin]] was included in the [[Degenerate Art Exhibition]] in 1937.
Complete sets of the 50 folio prints are held by several public collections, including the [[Historial de la Grande Guerre]] in [[Péronne, Somme|Péronne]], the [[Kupferstichkabinett]] in the [[Kunsthalle Hamburg]], the [[Museum of Modern Art]] in New York City, the [[National Gallery of Australia]], and the [[British Museum]]. A complete set of 50 prints, formerly owned by [[Lothar-Günther Buchheim]] and [[deaccession]]ed as a duplicate from the [[Buchheim Museum]], was sold by [[Christie's]] in 2017 for £236,750. A complete set with a copy of ''Soldat und Nonne'' was sold by [[Sotheby's]] in 2014 for US$377,000.
