                   George Grosz produced a broad 
                                      range of graphic and painted works, many 
                                      which were socially critical and verist. 
                                      Although his earliest and later paintings 
                                      were mainly Expressionist, there are two 
                                      connections with Magic Realism. The first 
                                      during the early 1920s, in which his works 
                                      were related to Pittura Metafisica. The 
                                      second period covered the last half of the 
                                      1920s, and pertains to his many portraits 
                                      executed in the style of Neue Sachlichkeit. 
                                      During the latter period Portrait of 
                                      John Foerate, Man with Glass Eyes is 
                                      perhaps the most magical.  |
