New objectivity

WHAT IS NEW OBJECTIVITY?

New objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) was an art movement that originated in Germany during the 1920s against the expressionism movement. It tries to focus more on the objective world than the abstract and idealistic world the expressionists created. The photographs usually contained objects or plants in a plain and simple way, removing any conceptual ideas.
