What were the goals of New Objectivity in photography?The New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) emerged as a style in Germany in the 1920s as a challenge to Expressionism. As its name suggests, it offered a return to unsentimental reality and a focus on the objective world, as opposed to the more abstract, romantic, or idealistic tendencies of Expressionism.

The new objectivity is a very minimalistic choice of photography which includes a lot of lines and repetition of shapes. It is mainly in black an white which adds depth.
