it stimulated a new wave of interest in Grosz's work in different milieux, sometimes distant
to the actual sphere of his activities.
Another Grosz's exhibition was organized in Austria by the efforts of Walter Kasten, director
of the Neue Galerie in L;nz. This exhibition was shown (between February and May 1965)
in the Graphische Sammlung Albertina in Vienna, in the Neue Galerie der Stadt Linz and the
Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Ioanneum in Graz. It contained 104 oil paintings, watercolours
and drawings of the best period in Grosz's creatfye life — the years 1914 to 1933. With the
exception of one drawing belonging to the Albertina in Vienna, the bulk of the exhibits derived
from the artist's beąuest and American and German collections.
In February 1966 the Parisian Galerie Claude Bernard has shown a set of Grosz's watercolours
and drawings from private collections in Paris and New York as well as from two Italian galleries
in Torino and Milan. It wasn't a big exhibition but its 61 works, dating from 1915 to 1943,
were interesting because they were not included in former exhibitions. On the occasion of this
show, the first one-man show of Grosz's in France and one of only a smali number of presen-
tations of German 20* century artists in that country, the author of the introduction to the
catalogue — Edouard Roditi — recalls some forgotten facts pointing to the contacts between
the Ecole de Paris and contemporary German artists.
In June 1966 the Berlin Galerie Nierendorf organized a commercial exhibition of grap hic
works by Max Beckmann and 60 drawings by Grosz (dated 1915 — 1927). In July of this year
the Dresden Kupfeistich-Kabinett presented a show of Grosz's graphic works with some drawings
from the collections in the German Democratic Bepublic and from Galerie Nierendorf. This
exbibition included five unknown watercolours from the collections of the National Museum
in Warsaw.
