{"product_id":"neue-sachlichkeit-1918-33-9789042020191","title":"Neue Sachlichkeit 1918-33","description":"\u003ci\u003eNeue Sachlichkeit\u003c\/i\u003e is thought by many to have too many diverse elements to be a unified movement. Originally divided by G.F. Hartlaub into two ‘wings’,\u003ci\u003e Neue Sachlichkeit\u003c\/i\u003e has since been broken down by critics into more groups, sometimes with opposing styles or regional influences. However, the importance of these divisions has rarely been explored in depth. Unlike previous surveys, which accept\u003ci\u003e Neue Sachlichkeit\u003c\/i\u003e as a divided entity, this book shows for the first time that in spite of its divisions, it may still be regarded as a unified, coherent movement. \u003cbr\u003eWhile different artists may have sought to express different specific concerns, what they all had in common was that they were uncomfortable with the world as it stood, and it is the way that this was expressed, making use of the object, that gave\u003ci\u003e Neue Sachlichkeit\u003c\/i\u003e its unity. This was just as true of the literature and photography of\u003ci\u003e Neue Sachlichkeit\u003c\/i\u003e, where the same themes as those found in the painting were frequently used. The fact that these are shared themes across different cultural media demonstrates that\u003ci\u003e Neue Sachlichkeit\u003c\/i\u003e reflected a mood of its time, and this book explores the ways in which this mood was expressed.","brand":"Steve Plumb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310459859195,"sku":"9789042020191","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789042020191.jpg?v=1772491617","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/neue-sachlichkeit-1918-33-9789042020191","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
