George Grosz – The Big NO
11 October – 9 November
Highgate Gallery is delighted to celebrate its 20th year by hosting the Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition of works by George Grosz. An exploration of the fractured society of Weimar Germany through the sharp eye and even sharper pen of one of the leading German satirical draughtsmen of the 20th century.
George Grosz (1893-1959) was one of the greatest satirical artists of the 20th century. A co-founder of the Berlin Dada group and revolutionary in the 1920s, he made hundreds of drawings depicting the vices and injustices of capitalist society on the brink of economic and moral collapse.
Many of Grosz’s drawings were published in portfolios by the left wing publisher Malik Verlag. This exhibition presents two of the most powerful: ‘Ecce Homo’ (’Behold the Man’), 1923, and ‘Hintergrund’ (’Background’), 1928.
The exhibition takes its title from the artist’s autobiography, ‘Ein Kleines Ja und Ein Grosses Nein’ – ‘A small yes and a big no’, itself a pun on his own name (he was born Georg Groß).
‘Ecce Homo’ was Grosz’s largest portfolio, consisting of 84 photo-lithographic reproductions of 84 black and white drawings and 16 watercolours (a small number of watercolours will be shown in the exhibition). The drawings present a monstrous menagerie of Berlin characters, capturing a society living in the shadow of hyper-inflation and social disorientation, divided between fascism and communism. The drawings range from the primitive and graffiti-like to complex Futuristic street scenes, and depict city streets, workers’ hovels, seedy night bars and brothels and caricatures of black marketeers, pimps, prostitutes, de-mobbed soldiers and the nouveau-riche.
Shortly after publication in 1923 Grosz and his publisher were prosecuted for obscenity and the printing plates for ‘Ecce Homo’ were destroyed. Later, when the Nazis came to power, the remaining books and portfolios were publicly burned in May 1933. Only a few copies survive and in 1964 the artist’s family licensed the publication of a facsimile edition.
The ‘Hintergrund’ prints, equally controversial at the time and subject to legal prosecution, are taken from the original portfolio.
A Hayward Touring exhibition from Southbank Centre, London.

This is a comical show weaving the song Old McDonald with the story of the Three Pigs. The pigs get fed up singing eieio and move out of the barn to the other side of the farm. They build their own houses only to be visited by a hungry wolf. Luckily, our pigs have planned ahead and have enough dog toys to play with. The children help identify farm produce, sing, take part as animals and rear pigs. www.boostercushiontheatreforchildren.com.
Highgate councillors hold a surgery at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, and at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.
Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the cafe or foyer area of Jacksons Lane theatre, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.

Veteran of the James Taylor Quartet guitarist Nigel Price’s Organ Trio won the Best Band category at the 2010 Parliamentary Jazz Awards. This concert is inspired by hard swinging Wes Montgomery and is one of forty dates in a national tour. The addition of Vassilis Xenopoulis, a truly sensational player lifts the band to new levels of tonal variety, while Ross Stanley, surely the most in demand keyboard player in London, also makes for even more anticipation.

A Shout in the Street. Philip says, “My work is about the physicality of existence and of making art. I am just a modern artist working and expressing an inner world – in other words, expressing the energy, motion and inner forces of being in the World.” Philip’s latest vibrant, thickly painted canvases feature portrait heads which arrest us by their vivid materiality and energy.
Philip’s title is drawn from James Joyce’s Ulysses. Molly Bloom’s shout from the street is a passionate cry for life, and a model for Philip’s own vigorous embrace of engagement with life through the medium of paint. He also quotes Nietzche:
‘Art reminds us of states of animal vigour. It is on the one hand an excess and overflow of blooming, physicality; on the other, an excitation of animal functions through images and desires of intensified life, a stimulant to it.’
A local artist, Philip was one of the first to exhibit at Highgate Gallery. This is his fifth show with us and we are delighted to welcome him back, particularly this year in which we celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Highgate Gallery at HLSI.
