Description
In 1952 George Grosz, the German expatriate artist, was invited to Dallas by Leon Harris to produce a series of watercolor and oil paintings illustrating the landscape and society of Dallas. A group of these works was exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts in the fall of 1952, but the entire series has never been shown together. Flower of the Prairie: George Grosz's Impressions of Dallas, 1952 will present eighteen works from the series together with additional paintings, watercolors, and drawings by Grosz from various stages in his career, including early expressionist and anti-fascist images produced in Germany and later paintings from his New York period. It will also contextualize the Impressions series with historic photographs of Dallas in the early 1950s from the Dallas Historical Society and the archives of the Dallas Morning News.
