Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): New Objectivity, a 1920s German art movement, is characterized by realistic, unembellished depiction of life, moving away from the emotional expressiveness of Expressionism. The style exists in two tendencies: Verists, who satirically and provocatively represent the harsh realities of contemporary life, and Classicists, who focus on timeless and universal qualities in a sober, detached way. Emphasis is often laid on particular features or objects, giving a precise, factual, and impartial document of the times. Notable artists include George Grosz and Max Beckmann.
