About this Item

Title

  • Dutch neorealism, cinema, and the politics of painting, 1927-1945

Summary

  • "This study offers a radically new perspective on Dutch Neorealists' work that emphasizes the role of film as an apparatus whose effects, when emulated in painting, can reproduce the affective experience of film-watching. More of a tendency than a tightly defined style or ism, Neorealism is the Dutch variant of Magic Realism, an uncanny mode of figurative painting identified with Neue Sachlichkeit in Germany and Novecento in Italy. Best represented by the Dutch artists Pyke Koch, Carel Willink, Charley Toorop, Raoul Hynckes, Dick Ket, and Wim Schuhmacher, Neorealism-as demonstrated in this book-depicted societal disintegration and allegories of looming disaster in reaction to the rise of totalitarian regimes and, eventually, the Nazi Occupation of The Netherlands. The degree to which these artists exhibited either revolutionary or reactionary sentiments-usually corresponding with their political affiliation-is one of the central problematics explored in this text. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, World War II history, and film studies"-- Provided by publisher.
