"NEUE SACHLICHKEIT"
GERMANY
NEW OBJECTIVITY
Western Europe During WWI
Modernist Realist Movement
Trying to show the figure in its real/raw form
Objectivity to express the artists world
Honest representation of the WAR which they don't celebrate at all.
Ugliness is conveyed and not sugar coated
-
"The volunteers"
Her work remains ture to espressionism- hard to associate her to any one movement
dedicated to the forum of protest and socialism
Printmaker- she liked that you could reach many through mass production, and it is a simple way to relay a message
Her husband runs a clinic and she spends a lot of time there
School for women artists
In this print- there is no hope that these men will get out of this alive. Their fates are sealed- they are marching to their deaths
-
"Woman with a dead Child"
Etching- like engraving but instead you have a thin layer of wax and using a stylus you remove the material of where you want lines. Submerge it in acid which eats away at the metal and it leaves a crisp clean line.
Repeated theme- woman with dead child - it is a reference to Mary cradling Jesus. But removes the gracefulness of other representation- the woman clutches. Her son also died in the front lines- she used him as the model for this work. A tragic preminition
-
"Fit for Active Service"
drawing- artist for publication
prisoned many times for his uncensorred politically charged artwork
Saying people who are clearly not fit for war are still being put in war.
-
"The Skat Players-Card Playing War Invalids"
Another major painter of the movement
brutality and violence major themes seen in his work
this painting- after effects of the war- anti-heroic, and grossly represented with the distortion and injuries the war caused to their bodies.
Though he keeps the seduction playing by using vibrant colors
-
Neue
Frau (“New Woman”)
- The new women in Germany
- portrait by Otto Dix is an example of representing the New Woman
hands long and large, no breasts, blocky dress, hiding any femininity.
Sagging stocking- messy, not polished
Call to order/return to order
-
"Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden"
He wants to paint her, and she accuses him of wanting to paint her to put people off, and he agrees but still wants to paint her. She agrees even though he insulted her
ugly portrait- exaggerated ugliness
she is in a modified pose covering her chest and lap and so these points are not available to the viewer.
She is smoking and drinking in public which wasn't appropriate in the 1920s
-
"The War"
Trench warfare that he himself experienced. Propegandistic art galleries to show what the war was really about
Color used to add to the mood
Contruction of work resebles the alter piece.
progression- going to war bravely, then they are in the trench of war- an apocolyptic decription of what it was like, comrads trying to save eachother and then underneath they are dead
-
"Dr. Mayer-Hermann"
Magic realism
extreme realism- rigid pose, eerie quality
mode of representation that takes on a different feel by taking ordinary items and represent them very real creating an eeriness feeling
-
"Circus Artists"
influenced by the new object movement even though he is a photographer
series- the people of the twentith century (this photo is part of it)
farmer, women, ... , class and professions, city , ,artist, last people
forced to gaze at people you normally wouldn't- they look directly into the camera lense
-
"Night"
Best known painter from the New Ojectivity movement.
wants to tap into the disturbing quality of romantic art. His also has an expressive quality
a cramped room with intruders who are attacking the family within. A horrific result of a time filled with war and violence.
He uses himself and family as the models for this work. He deviates from the return to order by haing hte material being disjointed: The womans hands are bound to the window which is too far away with a table in front. But this distortion reflects the feel the people are going through
