Based on an impressive collection of archival material, this study explores critical responses to Dix's work, including National Socialist views and post-war memorialisation. * Nina Lübbren, Associate Professor in Art History and Film, Anglia Ruskin University, UK * Murrays deeply researched analysis reveals Dix as a trenchant critic of Weimar-era and wartime Germany. Paying close attention to the artists critical reception, Murray demonstrates Dixs profound engagement with the politics of war commemoration and the memory of trauma. * Matthew Biro, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art, University of Michigan, USA * This book offers unique and original scholarship to foreground Otto Dixs important war art and its contemporaneous public and critical reception. Generously illustrated, the book highlights the visual culture of war between 1914 and 1934, bridging the First World War and the rise of National Socialism in the context of Modernisms rise and fall. * Donna West Brett, Associate Professor and Chair of Art History at the University of Sydney, Australia; author of Photography and Place: Seeing and Not Seeing Germany After 1945 (2015) *
