Neue Sachlichkeit | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

Neue Sachlichkeit, or New Objectivity, was a German art movement that emerged in the 1920s as a reaction against expressionism, characterized by a focus on realism, objectivity, and social critique. The movement was led by artists such as Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, and George Grosz, who sought to depict the harsh realities of modern life in Weimar Germany. The term, coined by Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub, not only described a tendency in German painting but also came to characterize the attitude of public life in Weimar Germany, influencing art, literature, music, and architecture.
