Otto Dix is seen as a leading figure of the Neue Sachlichkeit movement in painting in Weimar Germany, and he is without a doubt the most studied and exhibited today. This paper considers Dix's work from a new angle by revealing his efforts to harness the promotional opportunities offered by the reproduction of his paintings in art journals, books and newspapers, while simultaneously insisting on medium-specificity and protecting his original artwork from being 'tainted' by its copy on paper.
International symposium organised by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, in collaboration with the University of Leuven and the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
