Rudolf Schlichter Großstadt Porträt Obsession
Rudolf Schlichter was one of the most renowned exponents of the New Objectivity movement. He cast a discerning and critical eye on the society of his day, closely observing the goings-on of the people around him. Born in 1890 in Calw, Schlichter began studies in enamel painting in Pforzheim in 1904 and later was a student at the Art Academy in Karlsruhe. He moved to Berlin in 1920. Close friends with George Grosz, he also had contact with Bert Brecht, Erich Kästner and Alfred Döblin. His work in the 1920s is notable above all for his haunting portraits, his sober and sometimes oppressive depictions of the dark sides of the modern metropolis, as well as his open and in some cases shocking analyses of his own personal obsessions.
