New Objectivism (jan 1, 1920 – jan 1, 1933)

Description:

This was a reaction against expressionism; it was the idea that art should not show a romantic view of the world, but show it as it really is, including poverty and squalor.

Under the Weimar government's freedom of speech and economic recovery, this flourished.

Communists said that government money should not be spent on extravagance when working people needed basic help. The nationalists and the Nazis said that the changes undermined traditional German culture.
