It’s an early 20th century version of Realism. In the 1920s, some artists continued to work in the abstract avant-garde styles that emerged in Europe at the turn of the century but in the wake of World War I, many artists returned to a more realist style in which objects and people were shown more naturalistically. This post-war trend is sometimes called “the return to order” and it took on different configurations in different places. The Russian artist Boris Grigoriev traveled and lived in many countries after the war. His work is often associated with the German brand of post-WWI realism known as the New Objectivity movement and its key exponent, Otto Dix.Have a question on your next visit at the Museum?
