Carl Grossberg

Carl Grossberg was a German painter born on September 6, 1894, in Elberfeld, Germany, and he died on October 19, 1940, in Laon, France. He was a prominent figure in the New Objectivity movement, which emerged in Germany during the 1920s as a reaction against expressionism. Grossberg is best known for his meticulously detailed industrial landscapes and architectural scenes, which reflect the movement's emphasis on realism and precision. His work often depicted the mechanization and industrialization of modern life, capturing the stark beauty and complexity of machinery and urban environments. Grossberg's career was cut short by his untimely death during World War II, but his contributions to the New Objectivity movement remain significant in the study of early 20th-century German art.
