Christian Schad, Volume 2: Catalogue Raisonné: Photographs

By Enno Kaufhold    

The second volume in a series detailing the work of Christian Schad—one of the most important artists associated with the New Objectivity—this examination goes beyond his most famous medium to explore his lesser-known talent for photography. The collection reveals numerous rare images from the early to mid-1930s for the first time, from landscapes and abstract motifs to the striking metropolis of Berlin. Featuring accompanying discussions on the relationship between the New Objectivity and photography, the book also delves into Schad's artistic approach, focusing on his use of photographs in the painting of his famous portraits as well as his later unique method of artistic cameraless photography in his "Schadographs."
