New Objectivity

New Objectivity was an art movement that emerged in Germany during the early 1920s as a reaction against Expressionism's emotional intensity. It emphasized realistic, precise, and unembellished depictions of contemporary life, focusing on clarity and objectivity. Artists aimed to portray society and everyday scenes with straightforwardness, often highlighting social issues or the human condition without romanticizing or dramatizing. The movement valued technique and a detached perspective, prioritizing truthfulness over personal emotion or aesthetic extravagance. Overall, New Objectivity sought to present an honest and sober view of the world through precise and unpretentious art.
