Focus on this artwork and explain the Description.
The growth of cities into gigantic metropolises was one of the favorite themes of the early 20th century artists. Seeking to capture this change, Grosz portrays Berlin in the midst of World War I in his Expressionist style with a predominance of red in a very chaotic scene. In the construction of the scene, he uses the techniques of cubism and futurism, with an exaggerated perspective and superposition of figures, that convey the feverish rhythm of city life. But in contrast to the positive outlook of other artists, the artist's personal experience of the front-line gave his work an apocalyptic dimension, revealing the insanity of man and the desire for self-destruction.
