In a society characterized by great upheavals and opposing forces, the Neue Sachlichkeit artists seek to capture modern everyday life and to portray the lives and work of ordinary people in a realistic and sober way – cleansed of any sensitivity and often in a deliberately distorted or distorted form.

Several Neue Sachlichkeit artists are particularly interested in still life. Inspired by the recording representation of photography, the painters borrow the imagery of photography in a dialogue between the two media and with a desire to depict objects without a filter, objectively and objectively. Herbert Ploberger's Still Life with Bottle is a good example.
