A movement in photography of the 1920s and 1930s, called Neues Sehen in German. It treated the camera as a new way of seeing, different from the human eye.
Typical features were steep angles from above or below, close-ups, strong diagonals, shadows, photograms and photomontage. László Moholy-Nagy and Alexander Rodchenko were key figures. It is related to, but different from, New Objectivity. See also Bauhaus.
