We have recently started a new brief for a 6 week project called "1% inspiration", where we had to choose a theme to work on. The five avalible subjects were: collections, boundaries, city, domestic, book makeover. I decided to work on boundaries, focusing on the more symbolic meaning, looking at social, as well as personal boundaries and exploring their meaning.
To start off, I looked at a German-American artist, George Grosz (1893-1959), who was a draughtsman and a painter. Although he joined the army for a short period of time, he'd spend most of the war in Berlin making ati-war drawings and paintings, also attacking the social corruption of Germany. He played an important role in the Dada movement.
