Nouveau réalismean artistic movement active in the mid-20th century, which sought to create art from everyday, found objects
What is a "nouveau réalisme"?
Nouveau réalisme was an art movement that started in France in the late 1950s. It was led by artists such as Yves Klein, Arman, and Jean Tinguely. Nouveau réalisme focused on using everyday objects and materials in art to make it feel more connected to the real world. Artists used items like objects that were thrown away, old metal, and packaging to create their work, emphasizing the physical presence and context of these materials. The movement aimed to challenge traditional artistic methods and mix art with daily life, examining modern society and the effects of a culture focused on buying and owning things.
