Biography
He was a German painter and graphic artist, known as a significant representative of the New Objectivity. He studied in Munich, lived in Switzerland and Paris before settling in Berlin. His works are characterized by a precise, almost photorealistic painting style, critically depicting society in the 1920s. He also became famous for his experimental 'Schadographien' – early forms of photogram technique. Schad's art continues to influence modern portrait painting today.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Christian Schad turned again to printmaking, especially linocuts. During this period, he frequently stayed in Italy, including Venice, where he was inspired by classical art and architecture. His linocuts from this phase often depict mythological and religious motifs and reflect an intense engagement with traditional print techniques. These works mark a late but significant expansion of his artistic oeuvre.
