What is the theory of neo-objectivism?

Neo-objectivism is a style related to painting, literature and architecture, especially in the1920s. This name is associated with the retrospective exhibition held by the art critic Gustav Frederich Hartraber in Mannheim in 1925.

The exhibition "New Objectivism: Weimar * * and Modern German Art in the Period,191933", which just ended in Los Angeles County Art Museum, USA, presents artists' different responses to Weimar * * and the rapidly changing social state in Germany. The art of "neo-objectivism" has existed for nearly a hundred years, but it constitutes a distant mirror for the current art world. In the era of deviant looking back at order, art may not need to prove itself with radicalism and revolution, and sometimes "deviation" and "inheritance" are also a pair of contradictory and unified relations. German expressionism is familiar to readers who have a little knowledge of art history in China. However, few people know about "new objectivism". Neo-objectivism is not a style, but more a knowledge and an artistic attitude. Its popularity and influence may not be as good as expressionism, but its significance and research value may not be inferior, especially at present-another era of looking back at order from heresy.

Neo-objectivism, also known as neo-objectivism, is an artistic trend of thought in Germany after the First World War, which coincides with the first move towards democracy and Weimar in German history. Some scholars believe that this is a challenge to expressionism. As the name implies, it draws people back to the cold reality, pays attention to the objective world, opposes expressionism, a more abstract, romantic or idealized art, and rejects the exotic and passionate subjectivity of expressionism, one of the avant-garde arts prevailing before the war. Neo-objectivism not only involves painting, photography and other visual arts, but also has different degrees of influence on movies, architecture, music and other fields.
