is a painting created by using the combination of pencil, pen, brush and ink, watercolor and collage, by the German artist George Grosz, in 1920.
This painting reflects his Dada artistic tendency of the time, and is an ironic take on his recent marriage.
His wife had been nicknamed by him as Maud, and the title Daum is an obvious anagram of that short form.
The scene takes place having an irrealistic urban background that seems inspired by the work of Giorgio de Chirico.
[2] The concept of the painting was explained by Grosz publisher Werner Herzfeld who said that marriage "comes between the bride and groom like a shadow, this fact that, at the very moment when the wife is allowed to make known her secret desire and reveal her body, her husband turns to other soberly pedantic arithmetical problems..."[3]
