Arte Nucleare was the name of an artist group founded in Milan in 1951. The group aimed to create art that responded to the dangers and technologies of the nuclear age. Their works often utilized automatic techniques and depicted devastated landscapes and mushroom clouds, reflecting the anxieties of a world on the brink of nuclear catastrophe.
The New Leipzig School is a movement in modern German painting that represents the third generation of artists associated with the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig. This movement reflects the post-reunification landscape of Germany. Unlike the first generation of Leipzig painters, the third generation does not have clear, defined characteristics or messages. Instead, their work blends figurative and abstract elements, placing a strong emphasis on creativity and experimentation.
