The Trench (Dix)
''The Trench'' (German: ''Der Schützengraben''), but earlier known as ''Das Kriegsbild'' ("The War Picture") or simply ''Der Krieg'' ("The War"), was an oil painting by the German artist Otto Dix. The large painting was made from 1920 to 1923, one of several anti-war works by Dix in the 1920s inspired by his experience of trench warfare in the First World War.

The work was condemned by the Nazis, confiscated and included in the exhibition of degenerate art (''Entartete Kunst'') held in Munich in 1937.
