Detailed Description

New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) is a term used to describe a movement in German art that arose in the 1920s as a reaction against Expressionism. The New Objectivity artists sought to depict the world in a realistic and objective manner, eschewing the emotional excesses of Expressionism. This return to realism was also evident in other art movements of the time, such as the American Precisionism. Some of the most famous New Objectivity artists include Max Beckmann, George Grosz, Otto Dix, and Christian Schad. One of the most iconic paintings of the New Objectivity is George Grosz’s “Metropolis” (1928), which depicts the dark and chaotic side of life in the modern city. The New Objectivity was short-lived, coming to an end with the rise of the Nazi party in Germany in the early 1930s. However, the influence of the movement can still be seen in the work of many contemporary artists.
