The Neue Sachlichkeit exhibition at Neue Galerie New York celebrates the centenary of Gustav F. Hartlaub’s 1925 survey, highlighting the New Objectivity movement. This artistic development post-WWI emphasized critical realism, social commentary, and detailed depictions of contemporary life. The show explores the divide between Verists (e.g., Otto Dix, George Grosz) and Classicists (e.g., Alexander Kanoldt, Christian Schad), offering a multidisciplinary installation that reflects the cultural, political, and social complexities of the Weimar Republic.
