Allemagne / Années 1920 / Nouvelle Objectivité / August Sander

Exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, 11 May - 5 September 2022

The Neue Sachlichkeit was a multi-disciplinary movement that originated in Berlin after the First World War, and all its members were later considered degenerate artists by Hitler's propaganda. In addition to painting and photography, the project brought together architecture, design, film, theatre, literature and music.

This catalogue of the first overview of this movement in France is structured in eight thematic sections, which are mapped onto the socio-cultural groups and categories created by August Sander, thus offering a panorama of German art of the late 1920s.
