Abstract
The article is devoted to the research of regional peculiarities of New Objectivity painting in the Berlin. The special position of the most intensively developing capitals of the world made the main city of the Weimar Republic unusually attractive for the most different strata of the population, including artists. The relevance of the topic is determined by the growing interest in modern science to the realistic and figurative images in the art of the 20th century opposed to the avant-garde. Its innovation lies in the consideration of the works of New Objectivity not as an illustrative record of life in Berlin in the 1920s and early 1930s, but as a kind of mirror of the era, which refracted the life of the metropolis in the most diverse genres of fine art. The aim is to reveal specific features of the "image of the world" in the paintings of the artists creating in the German capital. This was achieved through the application of formal-stylistic and socio-cultural methods.
