Otto Dix and the New Objectivity -
KORTE INHOUD
The dramatic twentieth century as reflected in the works of Otto Dix and the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) painters.
"Neue Sachlichkeit-I invented it." This is the catchy way Otto Dix, looking back, rewrote the development of the art movement, which alongside abstract art and Expressionism can be considered the "third path" taken in the development of art in the modern era. The unrelenting realism of his work is at the heart of an attitude situated somewhere between the grotesque and the classical, to which some of the most important artists of the twentieth century subscribed.
This is the first publication to illuminate Neue Sachlichkeit against the backdrop of the Weimar Republic and National Socialism. Dix's works-including the key Metropolis triptych (1928-29), the great psychological portraits, and, last but not least, the landscapes with their hidden symbolism, painted during the years he spent at Lake Constance-form the starting point for this exploration of his oeuvre. They are placed in a con...

The Neue Sachlichkeit: I invented it. Thus Otto Dix (1891-1969), looking back with characteristic directness, chose to rewrite the development of the art movement that can be considered the "third path"--alongside Abstraction and Expressionism--taken by progressive artists in the modern era. Situated somewhere between the grotesque and the classical, Dix's harsh, unrelenting realism produced some of the most horrific depictions of the First World War, and some of the most critical portrayals of the Weimar R...
