About Christian Schad (1894–1982): He was a German painter and graphic artist, known as a significant figure 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, through which he critically portrayed the society of the 1920s. He became famous for his experimental “Schadographien” – early forms of the photogram technique. Schad's art continues to influence modern portrait painting. In the 1950s and 1960s, Christian Schad again turned to printmaking, in particular linocuts. During this period he stayed several times in Italy, including Venice, where he drew inspiration from classical art and architecture. His linocuts from this phase often depict mythological and religious motifs and reflect an intense engagement with traditional printmaking techniques. These works mark a late but significant expansion of his artistic œuvre.
