George Grosz wrote in his autobiography: "Modern art is a kind of merchandise just like a soap, a towel or a brush that to be sold need clever advertising and the artist has turned into a laborer in the production chain that makes products for stores to display them in their shop windows and which should be updated as soon as possible. No time to develop his skills, has ceased to be his own master, he has passed into the sphere of public property and receives orders from public figures, whether from merchants or workers' councils. For them it's like he is a shoemaker who must provide every Tom, Dick and Harry with boots or slippers according to the order."
