Flower of the Prairie: George Grosz in Dallas

May 20 - August 19,2012

In 1952, Leon Harris, Jr., the young vice president of the Harris and Company department store commissioned expatriate German dadaist Grosz to create a series of paintings illustrating the landscape, economy, and society of Dallas for the store’s 65th anniversary celebrations. Twenty works from the series, accompanied by historic photographs of Dallas, document the city as Grosz discovered it.
