"description": "In this print, George Grosz lays out the nightmare of postwar Germany: the disabled, homeless soldier panhandling; the overstuffed bourgeois capitalist; the dismal grind of the workers; and the shameless prostitute. This image reveals his satirical\u2014verging on misanthropic\u2014view of German society after the war. He wrote: \u201cThe slaughter takes place on the city streets.\u201d Grosz\u2019s approach to printmaking differed from that of many of his contemporaries. He saw it as a means to reproduce his drawings, thus quickly distributing his political and social ideas to the widest possible audience.",
