In Switzerland, where he fled to avoid military service in 1915, he joined the Dada Movement. In this avant-garde context he created his Schadographs (photographs made without camera or lens), which were featured in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1937 and have contributed considerably \u2013 along with his portraits \u2013 to his world renown.<\/p>\n<p>His first paintings in the style of Neue Sachlichkeit were created in Italy in 1923. After returning to Germany, Schad painted numerous highly convincing portraits during the 1940s and began to devote himself to expressive painting. In the early 1960s he turned to Magical Realism as well as resuming work on his photograms.<\/p>\n<p>This catalogue raisonn\u00e9 published by the Christian-Schad-Stiftung Aschaffenburg (CSSA) is based on an initial collection of materials assembled by the artist\u2019s widow, Bettina Schad (1921\u20132002). In 2000 she established the foundation (CSSA) together with the city of Aschaffenburg, it now holds over 800 works by the artist as well as all of his private effects.<\/p>\n<p>After extensive research, the art historian Dr. Thomas Ratzka has now provided us with this standard work on Christian Schad\u2019s painting. It is the first of four planned volumes of a catalogue raisonn\u00e9 to be published in German and English. The introduction offers a comprehensive assessment and classification of his extensive work within its contemporary context.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wienand-verlag.de\/titel\/Christian-Schad-Catalogue-Raisonnee-Vol-2-Photographs.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Volume II: Photographs<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wienand-verlag.de\/titel\/Christian-Schad-Catalogue-Raisonnee-Vol-2-Photographs.asp\"><img data-attachment-id=\"733\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/?attachment_id=733\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/schad_phtographs.jpg?fit=240%2C321&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"240,321\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Schad Umschlag.indd&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Christian Schad Catalogue Photographs\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/schad_phtographs.jpg?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/schad_phtographs.jpg?fit=240%2C321&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-733  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/schad_phtographs.jpg?resize=180%2C241\" alt=\"Schad Umschlag.indd\" width=\"180\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/schad_phtographs.jpg?w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.christian-schad-museum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/schad_phtographs.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This second volume is dedicated to Christian Schad\u2019s photographs, which were taken in 1934\/35 and about whose existence little was known until now.<\/p>\n<p>Photographs of Berlin, portraits and landscapes, as well as abstract motifs are presented here for the first time.
