Biography


German painter, representative of the artistic style of New objectivity.

Having been in the School of applied arts in Cologne and at the Düsseldorf Academy of art, the first works of Anton RADARSAT in his career was influenced by expressionism and constructivism. After serving in the First world war he spent a short period as an art teacher, and then moved on a permanent freelance work as an artist. He maintained close contacts with other avant-garde artists of the Rhineland, Cologne "Progressives" and the circle of the Cologne Dadaists. Räderscheidt soon developed his own characteristic magic realism. In 1925 he participated in the groundbreaking exhibition in Mannheim under the name "New objectivity". Successful in the Weimar period, he became the official artist-degeneration in the Nazi period and left Germany, but he survived to old age is known to fame.

However, since the late 1920s, he returned to expressive images of his early period. In 1936, RADARSAT fled to Paris, and in 1942 in Switzerland. During the war he developed his revival of figurative modernism, and he did not return from his Swiss exile in Cologne until 1949. To earn a living, he created many portraits and urban landscapes that are popular with collectors, but also continued to paint in his own reduced style which is getting closer to pure abstraction, and was met with greater and greater recognition. His paintings consist of single pieces on empty, foreign streets.
