Limited to 38 copies + 4 artist’s proofs. – *The Dance Master* is one of Christian Schad’s figurative studies, in which he transposes historical imagery and role models into the contemporary context of the Weimar Republic. The starting point is the classical professional image of the Baroque dance master, which Schad deliberately references whilst simultaneously subverting. The staid figure of the dance teacher is transposed onto the protagonists of modern Berlin nightlife, creating a subtle parody of role models and social performance.
