More Quotes from Otto Dix:
All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.Otto Dix

Otto Dix

Otto Dix

Otto Dix
Stop bothering me with your pathetic politics - I'd rather go to the whorehouse.
Otto Dix
I had to experience how someone beside me suddenly falls over and is dead and the bullet has hit him squarely. I had to experience that quite directly. I wanted it. I'm therefore not a pacifist at all - or am I?
Otto Dix
