Deutsche Zeitung


read all about it.
this is another one of our props for the photo shoot. its meant to be a (battered) newspaper spread
(if you hadn't guessed already)
its written in German.
we struggled a little with this as we couldn't read what it said on the image so, we've jumbled up some German words.. so if your trying to read it and it makes no sense sorry.
so since this it short i think ill just tell all you non-artists a little about the picture we where given..

The pillars of society
George Grosz 
1926.

The painting is a sarcastic portrait of the German elite classes who supported fascism. The dark nightmarish colours portray the gentlemen  who controlled the society. The figures are portrayed as selfish and uncaring individuals.
