Description
This exhibition on the art and culture of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) in Germany is the first overview presented in France of this artistic trend. Apart from painting and photography, the project brings together architecture, design, film, theatre, literature and music. This multidisciplinary exhibition is structured into eight thematic sections corresponding to the groups and sociocultural categories created by August Sander. A review of German history in the context of contemporary Europe with populist movements and divergent societies in the throes of the digital revolution invites us to observe the political resonances and media analogies between yesterday’s situations and those of today. The exhibition catalogue covers many artistic fields: painting, sculpture, furniture, design, architecture and photography, as well as numerous references to literature, theatre, the press, cinema and music, thanks to contributions from specialists in their respective fields.
