| Summary: | 碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 美術學系 === 106 === “Objective...who's objective, after all? I mean, is there any artist who is truly objective? Of course, in contrast to Expressionism and the later abstract style, the world of objects seems close to factual reality. The strong emphasis on the subject matter, on the material, in my work at the time might have been called objective, for example, tangible matters.” This is an interview in 1965 in the confession of Dix, Otto. Dix is known as a representative of New Objectivity painter. New Objectivity is an art movement that took place during the Weimar Republic in Germany and it is seen as a reactionary to expressionism. Inspired by avant-garde art since the end of the nineteenth century, artists began rethinking of human nature, and in a turbulent society, New Objectivity sparked a wave of emotionless gaze. Dix's artistic creation was influenced mainly by the popular philosophical thoughts of the time. Therefore, this article tries to explore the theoretical aspects of the ideological level and to find the true value of the New Objectivism in the art history.
