German painter, OTTO DIX (1891-1969) was also cited as an influence on the young LILY RENEE.
\naccording to the exhibition notes:
\nDr. Stadelmann . . . “considered dada a kind of mental disease of society . . . worth studying.”<\/p>\n

the other paintings of his in the exhibit – were beyond racy . . . beyond “erotic”, more like approaching porn. they were still shocking, even today. and esp in the Met. It was one of the most profound, explicit, and interesting historical exhibits I have ever seen in the Met. it made for a topnotch visual experience, as well as a curious encounter with pre-war, pre-Nazi art. decadence in a head-on collision with freedom of expression. and the perceived “degeneration” of society.<\/p>\n

the comic book influence – is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n
