George Grosz, born in Berlin in 1893, painted - drew mercilessly and unembellished the grievances of his time. He criticized poverty and mass unemployment, rearmament and fascism. George Grosz was a keen observer of his time, a political satirist and world-class artist.
Less well known is his reception in Japan. A connection that raises many questions.

In a moderated discussion, Ralph Jentsch (curator & Grosz expert) and Beate Wonde (curator, Japanologist) will shed light on new perspectives on the artist George Grosz in the context of Japan. Moderation: Alexander Jöchl (museum director).

Location: Samurai Museum Berlin
On 25.06., from 19:00

Exhibition catalog: George Grosz - Samurai Museum Berlin

An evening between art history, cultural transfer and critical reflection.
We look forward to an exciting discussion!
