New Objectivity, or Neue Sachlichkeit, was an art movement that emerged in Germany during the 1920s. It sought to depict reality in a straightforward and unembellished manner, contrasting with the emotional intensity of Expressionism. Artists focused on everyday life, social issues, and the effects of modernity, using a clear and realistic style. The movement encompassed various forms of art, including painting, photography, and literature. Notable figures associated with New Objectivity include painters like Otto Dix and George Grosz, who portrayed the harsh realities of post-World War I society. The movement ultimately reflected a desire for clarity and truth in a rapidly changing world.
