Random Images: Otto Dix

This painting was uncovered by Christian. At first glance, I had though that the blue lines were cracks in the paint but Otto Dix (1891–1969) was actually rendering the girl’s blue veins, perhaps exaggerated in an attempt to stand out from his contemporaries.

Otto Dix – Little Girl (1922)

Some clues to his motivations can be found here.
