Artists: of New Objectivity

New objectivity was a German art movement of the 1920's as an outgrowth of,
and in opposition to, expressionism.
The movement essentially ended in 1933 with the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis to power. The term is applied to works of pictorial art, literature, music, and architecture.



Renger-Patzsch’s Die Welt ist Schön (The World is Beautiful) is a collection of one hundred of his photographs in which natural forms, industrial subjects and mass-produced objects are presented with the clarity of scientific illustrations.

I think this relates to my pictures in the way objects are close up and in detail and how this takes them out of there context

 August Sander



I think that the idea of new objectivity relates to my project as, like my artist Blossfeldt, it takes objects and life forms out of context, therefore detatching them from reality.
