SUMMARY:Tate Liverpool: Tate Liverpool: Otto Dix and August Sander: Art\, P
 olitics\, and Society in Weimar Germany
DESCRIPTION:OTTO DIX AND AUGUST SANDER\nART\, POLITICS\, AND SOCIETY IN WEI
 MAR GERMANY\n\n30 September 2017 at 10.30–16.30\n\nDelve into Portraying
  a Nation: Germany 1919–1933 with this study day\n\nThis study day offer
 s the chance to explore one of the most important and fascinating periods 
 in twentieth-century history through the work of two of Germany’s greate
 st artists.\n\nIf for many in the English-speaking world\, the images of B
 erlin glamour and decadence in the hit musical Cabaret have come to repres
 ent the Weimar Republic\, then the works of Otto Dix and August Sander off
 er a rather different set of images. Dix’s often grotesque and deliberat
 ely shocking portraits document the savage effects of war and prostitution
  and satirise the wealthy and influential. By contrast\, Sander’s photog
 raphic portraits of ordinary Germans can seem mundane\, but that contrast 
 offers a clue to their power. The apparent objectivity of the camera lens 
 draws viewers into Sander’s documentation of the social reality of Germa
 ny between the two World Wars\, inviting them to wonder what became of tha
 t overwhelming gallery of ordinary faces. Through lectures\, discussions\,
  and direct study of selected works in the exhibition\, this study day wil
 l set these works in a wider cultural\, social\, and political context\, a
 nd at the same time explore the connection between art and politics at thi
 s most important cultural and political turning-point. As such\, it provid
 es a unique opportunity to understand that historical moment directly thro
 ugh the portraits of those who lived through it and to learn from the arti
 stic vision of those who were trying to make sense of it.\n\nProgrammed in
  partnership with the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures\, Univer
 sity of Liverpool and with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, Un
 iversity of London.\n\nBOOK HERE
