Lloyd, Jill - Christian Schad and the Neue Sachlichkeit

New York, W. W. Norton & Co, 2003. Hardcover. A black casebound book with gilt lettering on the spine. 259 pages; profusely illustrated with both color and black-and-white images. "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 exhibition 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.'. VG+/VG+ .
