Christian Schad: Schadographs, Catalogue Raisonné Vol.III

By Helen Adkins and Ines Otschik  

Christian Schad created what were probably the world’s first artistic photograms and abstract photographs. The third volume of his catalogue raisonné is dedicated to his so-called ‘Schadographs’. Schad arranged materials – including waste paper, fabric remnants, or even lint – on light-sensitive paper and exposed these with the help of the sun shining on the windowsill. The results are abstract compositions in the experimental spirit of Dada.
