Notes:

Otto Dix was a German painter and printmaker from the early 20th century who was best known for the artwork he created based on his experiences of fighting on the Western Front during World War One.

This image comes from Der Krieg (The War) a selection of sketches he created shortly after the war had finished.

Artist's Notes:

Throughout this series, Dix presents a wide array of ways in which a soldier can meet his death. Here, a soldier remains posed in the exact position he held at the moment the sniper's bullet found its target.
