Background information

"Paris will be under the sign of New Objectivity for a few months starting in the spring of 2022. From May 11 to September 5, 2022, the Centre Pompidou in Paris will bring together the protagonists of New Objectivity in a comprehensive retrospective of the most culturally innovative years of the 20th century in Germany.
August SANDER, represented with 32 photographs in the exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, is surrounded by artists and themes that in the 1920s made Germany the epicenter of the movement known as Neue Sachlichkeit. Germany became the epicenter of the movement that achieved world fame under the term Neue Sachlichkeit - Nouvelle Objectivité - New Objectivity. Between the two world wars, it encompassed almost all areas of art and life: painting and sculpture, design and architecture, photography, film and graphic art, theater and literature. Names such as George Grosz, Otto Dix and Max Beckmann, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, Karl BLOSSFELDT and Albert RENGER-PATZSCH, Bertolt Brecht and Paul Hindemith are representative of the many creative minds who dared to embark on modernism in the Weimar Republic and were driven into exile or internal emigration from 1933 onwards. The exhibition can subsequently be seen at the Louisiana Museum in Humlebæk (DK).
