Our Age Has a New Sense of Form

Essen

New technical possibilities and aesthetic theories led to an entire spectrum of styles in the 1920s internationally. Photography, film and illustrated magazines fascinated the avant-garde, inspiring them in their experiments and explorations. The ‘New Objectivity’ artists consciously distanced themselves from Expressionism as they sought to reproduce the optic appearance of things. In this decade, Constructivism also reached full flower. Under a common title Our Age Has a New Sense of Form, the Photographic Collection, the Graphic Arts Collection and the German Poster Museum focus in three exhibitions on this innovative and productive period of art.
