Christian Schad was a German painter and printmaker central to the development of New Objectivity in the 1920s. Working primarily in oils and adopting a sharp-focus realism, he depicted Berlin's nightlife, urban landscapes, and psychological portraits with unflinching precision. His technical mastery of glazing and his cool, detached treatment of subject matter, particularly in depicting cabaret scenes and social subjects, established him as one of the movement's defining voices. Schad's work combines formal control with an acerbic social gaze that resists sentimentality.
