    From front to back.

    1. The judge – the ex cavalryman and officer dreaming of past military glories. Willing to use the law to bring about his fantasies.
    2. The Journalist. – Fern on peace in his hand cover in blood. Acts like he wants peace while reveling in blood for headlines. With a chamber pot on his head.
    3. The politician – has shit for brains.
    4. The clergy – preaching a message of peace while supporting and ignoring the Freikorps murdering and terrorizing any left leaning elements of the population.

    Grosz was a banned artist under the Nazis. This is one of his works that survived the cultural purge.

  2. He was the artist who also made the one with the disabled WW1 veterans playing cards, right?
