Christian Schad -- Two Girls -- 1928 -- Oil on Canvas -- Private Collection

Another picture from the 2006 exhibition catalogue "Glitter and Doom: German Portraits from the 1920s" that struck me was Christian Schad's 1928 "Two Girls".

The catalogue entry claims that the picture would "descend into gross pornography" were the figure in the foreground to be shown looking at the viewer.

Rather than enter into a moralistic and unproductive discussion of this claim, I would rather consider whether the picture shows a couple's intimacy or the self- absorption of two isolated individuals.
