Neue Sachlichkeit

Klassische Moderne – Aus dem Nachlass. Vgl.: Richter, Nr. 38. Knutschologe geht auf ein Motiv von 1929 zurück. 1976 legte die Edition G.A. Richter das Motiv als Lithografie für das Mappenwerk "Orbis sensualium pictus" neu auf. Limitiert auf 38 Exemplaren + 4 E.A.. - In dieser Arbeit wird Christian Schads ausgezeichnetes Auge für die psychologische Milieustudie meisterhaft deutlich. Mit messerscharfem Strich beobachtet er die Berliner Gesellschaft und fängt die feinen Nuancen menschlicher Beziehungen ein. Der ironische Titel "Knutschologe" spiegelt perfekt den typischen Berliner Humor sowie das freizügige, ungezwungene Lebensgefühl der späten 1920er Jahre wider.

Classical Modernism – New Objecivity. - Lithograph on wove paper. Signed (E.A.), dated, titled and inscribed. - Slightly toned within the former passe-partout opening. Verso with mounting traces in the corners. Overall in very good condition. Splendid impression with a clear, finely nuanced line quality. - From the estate. Cf-no. 38. - Knutschologe is based on a motif from 1929. 1976 the G.A. Richter edition reissued the motif as a lithograph for the portfolio Orbis sensualium pictus. Limited to 38 copies plus 4 E.A.. In this work, Christian Schad's exceptional eye for psychological social observation becomes masterfully evident. With a razor-sharp line, he observes Berlin society and captures the subtle nuances of human relationships. The ironic title "Knutschologe" perfectly reflects both the typical Berlin humour and the liberal, carefree spirit of the late 1920s.
