NOTES
Otto Dix depicts the family of fellow artist Conrad Felixmüller, who is shown at top facing upward with yellow-toned skin and open mouth. Below him at right is his wife, Londa, who smiles serenely while cradling their baby, Luca. Together the parents form a protective backdrop around Luca, while Conrad’s right arm reaches over to rest atop Luca’s head. A townscape is visible in the background. In this work Dix’s style combines the faceted forms of Cubism with the vibrant color of the Italian Futurists.
