Schad is one of the most important figures the New Objectivist movement, though unlike many of his contemporaries, Dix, Grosz, etc., he was not vilified by the Nazis. I think when held relative to other artists in New Objectivity, Schad has a much sharper style, which was influenced by his love of certain painters, such as Raphael; yet he still manages to include a great amount of subversive and symbolic elements in his works, which makes them absolutely wonderful, often macabre, pieces.
