    Otto Dix Paints Unsettling Saint Christophers in Nazi Germany

    Otto Dix, persecuted by the Nazi regime, retreated to Lake Constance, where he devoted himself to landscapes and religious subjects. Between 1937 and 1944, Dix produced several versions of Saint Christopher, using them as metaphors for the suffering and uncertainty endured during the dark years of Nazism and the Second World War.
