"Christian Schad is considered one of the most important representatives of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). Sometimes realistic to the point of exaggeration, his famous portraits mirror society in the "Golden Twenties" on the edge of political upheaval and social injustice. The radical and unique character of his images of artists, leading citizens, aristocrats and other cultural figures have had an influence on a diverse range of realistic tendencies in art to this very day."
