"new objectivity"の定義と意味

What is "new objectivity"?

New Objectivity was an art movement that began in Germany during the 1920s. It started as a response to the emotional and expressive styles of the previous decades, focusing on clear, realistic depictions of everyday life. Artists in this movement, such as Otto Dix and George Grosz, aimed to show the world with accurate detail, often emphasizing social issues and the harsh realities of the time. New Objectivity aimed to provide a more straightforward view of life without making it seem better than it is, using detailed and accurate representations to reflect the challenges of modern society.
