The ramifications of World War I called for new depictions of reality in art. The resignation, accusations and indescribable hardship that characterized this time on the one hand, and the hope, longings and emerging zest for life of the "Golden Twenties'" on the other, found expression in a new type of art - one that was unsentimental, sober, specific and purist; one that described the world in an objective, realistic manner. Artists including Max Beckmann, Heinrich Maria Davringhausen, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Karl Hubbuch, Grethe Jurgens, Lotte Laserstein, Felix Nussbaum, Gerta Overbeck, Christian Schad, Rudolf Schlichter and many others.
