Situated between the end of World War I and the Nazi assumption of power, Germany’s first democracy thrived as a laboratory for widespread cultural achievement, witnessing the end of Expressionism, the exuberant anti-art activities of the Dadaists, the founding of the Bauhaus design school, and the emergence of a new realism.Yet the fourteen years of the Weimar Republic
“New Objectivity in German Art” is a show of worry, unease, distrust and stress. Drawn from the collection of the late Marvin and Janet Fishman, most of the featured works date from the 1920s — a decade in which Germany had to deal with the shock of losing World War I and coming to terms with the harsh reparations imposed by the victorious Allies.To have lost that war, under the leadership of the Kaiser, was not something Germany had even remotely contemplated in 1914, but by 1918, with almost 2.5 million soldiers and civilians dead and over 4 million wounded, the reality dawned: Germany had lost and the trauma of this is palpable in much of the work.The first works I encountered were 16 drawings by Rudolf Schlichter from 1930-’40. There’s an economy of line but maximum expression of preoccupied thought, of bigger issues on the mind – most subjects are of an age to have experienced the war. Albert Birkle’s “Street Scene, Berlin” (1922-23) is chaotic, almost nightmarish with a butcher, the young, the old, shadowy figures and prostitutes all commingling in an image replete with suspicion and distrust. And no wonder, the old certainty of the Kaiser was replaced by the Weimar Republic, hyperinflation, political infighting, labor unrest and a liberal cultural renaissance that left many disoriented and confused.
