Bettina

Christian Schad's painting Bettina exemplifies his mastery of the portrait genre within the context of the New Objectivity movement. The image captures the decadence and societal nuances of post-World War I Vienna and Berlin, reflecting Schad's focus on the emotional and psychological depth of his subjects. With a style influenced by Magic realism, the portrait presents a strikingly detailed and almost surreal depiction that blurs the line between reality and perception, embodying the complex atmosphere of the era.
