Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity or New Dispassion) photographer Ernst Sheel and his German contemporaries, Albert Renger-Patzsch, August Sander and Werner Mantz, pioneered a style in which precise depiction, devoid of emotional content, characterized the new visual language. The idiom was popular among European and American artists between the wars.
