Life
Schad was born in Miesbach, Upper Bavaria, to a wealthy lawyer who helped him for nearly half his lifetime. In 1913, he studied at the art academy in Munich. He immigrated to Switzerland in 1915 to escape World War II service, first in Zurich and then in Geneva. Both cities were at the heart of the Dada movement, and Schad became a Dadaist. He met Dadaists like Hans Arp and Hugo Ball in Zurich, as well as Walter Serner, with whom he launched Sirius. He was witness to the birth of the famous Cabaret Voltaire. Schad created his own version of the Photogram (which later was titled "Schadographs" by Tristan Tzara), where a contour picture is created on chloride printing-out paper, beginning in 1918 while living in Geneva. He spent many years in Rome and Naples from 1920 to 1925. Marcella Arcangeli, the granddaughter of a Roman scholar, enrolled in Naples, where he took painting and drawing lessons at the art academy. The family immigrated to Vienna in 1927. His paintings of this period are closely related to the New Objectivity movement. He returned to Berlin in the late twenties and settled there.
Schad's art was not condemned by the Nazis in the same way that Otto Dix, George Grosz, Max Beckmann, and several other New Objectivity artists had been; this may have been because his work appeared superficially more realistic. Around 1930, he became interested in Eastern philosophy, and his artistic output declined precipitously. Schad didn't feel like relying on his father's financial assistance in 1929, and he mainly stopped painting in the early 1930s. The Museum of Modern Art in 1937, a show about Dada and Surrection, featured three Schadographs by Tristan Tzara. Schad was included in the Great German Art exhibition this year, as their antidote to the Degenerate Art exhibition.
Schad lived in Germany during the war and after it. Schad moved to Aschaffenburg after the fire of his studio in 1943. The city commissioned him to copy Matthias Grünewald's Virgin and Child (Stuppach, parish church), a program on which he worked until 1947. Bettina, his future wife, saved the artworks in a spectacular manner and carried them to him in Aschaffenburg after his Berlin studio was destroyed in aerial bombing. An initial provisional arrangement developed into a four-decade structure. Schad continued to paint in the Magic Realist style in the 1950s, but in the 1960s, he would return to photogram experiments. Schad's reputation did not begin to recover until the 1960s, when a few shows in Europe fell on top of Photoreal's ascension.
Schad died in Stuttgart on February 25, 1982.
