Stormtroopers Advance Under a Gas Attack | Otto Dix | 1924

Otto Dix’s Stormtroopers Advance Under a Gas Attack (1924) presents a harrowing vision of warfare, depicting masked soldiers moving relentlessly through a poisoned battlefield. Rendered with stark line work and corrosive detail, the figures appear dehumanized—reduced to skeletal visages behind gas masks—embodying the mechanical brutality of World War I. The compressed composition and suffocating atmosphere convey terror, anonymity, and moral collapse, reflecting Dix’s unsparing critique of industrialized war and its devastating impact on the human condition.
