Gaienhofen otto dix biographies

Otto Dix was born in Gera, Germany, on December 2, 1891.

He lived until he was 77 years old and died in 1969. His mother wrote poetry in her younger years, and this piqued Dix’s interest in the arts.

Fritz Amann, who was Dix’s cousin, owned a studio where he painted, and Dix spent many hours there.

After serving his apprenticeship, he went to the Academy of Applied Arts in Dres
