Adolf Dietrich and Otto Dix both achieved success as representatives of New Objectivity. Different though their artistic work appears initially, as representatives of this movement they covered considerable common ground. Their points of contact can be found in gallery owners and artist friends, in museum collections and group exhibitions.
After the National Socialists removed Dix from his professorship at Dresden Art Academy in 933, he settled near the Swiss border, initially at Schloss Randegg and from 93 onwards in Hemmenhofen. Separated by the Untersee, he and Dietrich then lived in close proximity.
Both artists found motifs in the landscapes of the Lake Constance region. It is not known whether Dix and Dietrich ever visited each other, but each was certainly aware of the other. They probably meet for the first time in this publication.
