Artist Person!

I found a cool artist named Otto Dix, a German artist, born in 1891 and died in 1969. Otto was a painter and printmaker. His pieces had a lot to do with war and it's brutality. I noticed his name because of his drawing of a soldier's skeleton slumped up against a hill, as if it's still on guard. I also like his piece "Stormtroops Advancing Under Gas", it's kind of morbid, yet kind of funny do to the way he drew them. I liked the way he portrayed his current events through his art. And he was born in a kick- @$$ month!
