Book Reviews of Christian Schad and the Neue Sachlichkeit

Book Review: Christian Schad
Summary: 5 Stars

I've always been interested in this period between the world wars in Germany and Particularly like the work of George Grosz. I've only just discovered Christian Schad but "Christian Schad and the Neue Sachlichkeit" gives a good idea of the times, the machine age and moral vacuum that followed the end of the first world war. There's a really good selection of drawings, prints and paintings with his history and background and I recommend it to anyone who is also interested in this period of art in Germany.

Summary of Christian Schad and the Neue Sachlichkeit

The first collection in English to give a full accounting of Schad's peculiar genius.

The 1920s German art movement "New Objectivity" (Neue Sachlichkeit) created a stark and indelible portrait of German society. Along with Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, and George Grosz, artist Christian Schad is central to any appreciation of this fascinating period in both art and history.

Schad is a contradictory character. For all his icy-cool realism, Schad's mesmerizing paintings are characterized by an intense engagement with his models. While he is best known as a realist, he is also credited by the Dadaists as the inventor of abstract photograms, or "Schadographs."

Published in conjunction with an exhbition at the Neue Galerie in New York, Christian Schad and the Neue Sachlichkeit includes over 140 full-color reproductions of Schad's paintings, drawings, woodcuts and "Schadographs."
