This edition being “Ausgabe C.” A fierce attack on the morality of German life after the First World War, which resulted in the prosecution of Grosz and the suppression of some of the plates (all present here).
Ecce Homo was created by the German expressionist Georg Grosz (1893–1959), who was also a key figure in the Dadaism movement in Berlin, and together with Otto Dix, he formed the art movement Die Neue Sachlichkeit. The book, published by the left-wing publishing house Der Malik Verlag in 1923, contains a collection of semi-pornographic, critical and satirical depictions of German social classes in the post-World War I period and the Weimar Republic. It revolves around poverty, cruelty, sin and chaos especially derived from the complacency of the bourgeoisie and the lack of morals and conscience. Grosz had to flee to America in 1933 – shortly before Hitler came to power.
