German-born painter George Grosz (1893-1959) was an outspoken critic of the Nazi party, escaping with his family to the United States in 1933. Best known for painting satirical commentaries on politics and society, a weary Grosz turned away from the "damned, avid faces of little men," toward nature, which he found to be "rejuvenating--like spring water." An August, 1943 trip to Garnet Lake in the Adirondack Mountains was a chance to rediscover his boyhood and find peace far from the turbulence of World War II.
