Art Hazelwood’s series of linocut prints titled “Pillars of Society” takes its inspiration from the title of a painting by George Grosz. Grosz portrayed the destructive leaders of society in Weimar Germany in the 1920s. In Hazelwood’s prints he brings his own satirical edge to contemporary America. In imagery richly populated with grotesque figures the series depicts a world of sycophants, war profiteers, and mercenary violence.
