GEORGE GROSZ Truro, Cape Cod Landscape.
Watercolor on cream wove paper, 1939. 250x315 mm; 10x12 1/2 inches. Signed, dated "39" and inscribed "Truro" in red ink, lower left recto. Ex-collection the Addison Gallery, Andover.
Grosz (1893-1959) moved from Berlin to New York in 1933, escaping the Nazi uprising in Germany. He became a US citizen in 1938. Grosz traveled to Cape Cod during the summers from 1936 to 1945 where he made numerous watercolor landscape studies. In his autobiography, he recalled that making the watercolors he, "would roam for hours through the dunes at Cape Cod and try humbly--omitting nothing and adding nothing--to record my feelings with what modest gifts I possessed."
