Ernst Thoms
Ernst Thoms (November 13, 1896 – May 11, 1983) was a German painter associated with the New Objectivity. Thoms was born in Nienburg. He apprenticed as a painter from 1911 to 1914.Michalski 1994, p. 218. At the start of World War I in 1914, he entered military service. He was captured as a prisoner of war and held in England for five years ending in 1919.Schmied 1978, p. 130. In 1920, Thoms studied under Fritz Burger-Mühlfeld at the School of Arts and Crafts in Hanover. He found work as a stage-set painter at the Opera House in Hanover during 1924–25. Like the other New Objectivity artists active in Hanover, Thoms worked in a style that was unsentimental but "often reveals moods of a lyrical and fairy-tale-like nature", according to Sergiusz Michalski. In ''Attic'' (1926), Thoms presents prosaic subject matter in an undramatic way that nevertheless, with its openings into glimpsed spaces, suggests a mystery. Among the Hanover New Objectivity artists, Thoms was the on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

New Objectivity
The New Objectivity (in german: Neue Sachlichkeit) was a movement in German art that arose during the 1920s as a reaction against expressionism. The term was coined by Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub, the director of the ''Kunsthalle'' in Mannheim, who used it as the title of an art exhibition staged in 1925 to showcase artists who were working in a post-expressionist spirit. As these artists—who included Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Christian Schad, Rudolf Schlichter and Jeanne Mammen—rejected the self-involvement and romantic longings of the expressionists, Weimar intellectuals in general made a call to arms for public collaboration, engagement, and rejection of romantic idealism. Although principally describing a tendency in German painting, the term took a life of its own and came to characterize the attitude of public life in Weimar Germany as well as the art, literature, music, and architecture created to adapt to it. Rather than some goal of philosophical objectiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Secession (art)
In art history, secession refers to a historic break between a group of avant-garde artists and conservative European standard-bearers of academic and official art in the late 19th and early 20th century. The name was first suggested by Georg Hirth (1841–1916), the editor and publisher of the influential German art magazine '' Jugend'' (''Youth)'', which also went on to lend its name to the ''Jugendstil''. His word choice emphasized the tumultuous rejection of legacy art while it was being reimagined. Of the various secessions, the Vienna Secession (1897) remains the most influential. Led by Gustav Klimt, who favored the ornate Art Nouveau style over the prevailing styles of the time, it was inspired by the Munich Secession (1892), and the nearly contemporaneous Berlin Secession (1898), all of which begot the term ''Sezessionstil'', or "Secession style." Hans-Ulrich Simon later revisited that idea in ''Sezessionismus: Kunstgewerbe in literarischer und bildender Kunst'', the th ...
