Tate Liverpool presents the faces of Germany between the two world wars told through the eyes of painter Otto Dix (1891–1969) and photographer August Sander (1876–1964). Portraying a Nation: Germany 1919–1933 brings together two artists whose works document the radical extremes of the country in this period. Featuring more than 300 works, Portraying a Nation combines paintings and works on paper that explore Dix’s harshly realistic depictions of German society and the brutality of war and photographs from Sander’s best known series People of the Twentieth Century, his attempt to document the German people. In painting and photography, these works from a pivotal point in the country’s history reflect both the glamour and the misery of Weimar society.
