The Poet Max Herrmann-Neisse

Artist: George Grosz (German, 1893-1959)

Date: 1927

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Museum of Modern Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

This is the second of two portraits George Grosz painted of his friend, writer Max Herrmann-Neisse.

Grosz and Herrmann-Neisse shared the same politics, sense of humor, and cynical outlook. They were, as Herrmann-Neisse later recalled, both "proper and anarchistic." Herrmann-Neisse, Berlin's leading cabaret critic, guided the way in their nocturnal adventures. Together they dove into the seediest nightspots, while also moving in the same intellectual circles and contributing to the same periodicals.

Max Herrmann-Neisse (also Max Hermann, 23 May 1886, Nysa – 8 April 1941, London) was a German expressionist writer.
