Abstract

Anton Räderscheidt’s painting Die Rasenbank, represents the authentic ideology of the movement Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). Starting in an alteration of the relations of the figures with the space, which, in representative as in emotive terms, has no relationship to them (space eliminates, not being an Umwelt), presents, in spite of the realism of the figures, a world quite abstract and consequently “magical.” Therefore the oxymoronic expression “magical realism” assigned by Franz Roh to the movement, is the most appropriate to define its phenomenological conception of reality, according that, eliminating the relation between subject and environment (in formal as in psychological terms), one performs the isolations of the human being, that means its emblematic “not to be” in the world.
