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:

Gas clouds the atmosphere in this other-worldly scene. The figures' features are obscured by masks and their fingers are curled like claws.
