«Dr. Paul Wolff (1887-1951) was a prominent German self-taught photographer and one of the first to adopt the Leica. Whilst many of his photographs are published, a great deal of his archive burned in 1944 during World War II. He published 25-30 books with his photos from 1914 to 1950, amongst them the book "Meine Erfahrungen mit der Leica" ("My experience with the Leica") 1934; there was an exhibiton of the same name the year before) and the "Meine Erfahrungen mit der Leica farbig" (1944, "My experience with Leica Color Photography").» (Thorsten Overgaard)

Christian Schad - Anna Gabbioneta [1927]
Painted in 1927, Anna Gabbioneta displays all the clarity and precision of the objective style of portraiture that Schad perfected during this period of his career, his elegant subject sharply observed and bathed in a soft, even light, as she sits in front of a quiet townscape. Schad conveys a sense of the young woman’s intensity and focus, her gaze almost hypnotic as she stares directly out from the canvas at the viewer. Placed against a backdrop of simple, domestic buildings crowded together, Gabbioneta appears to hold herself perfectly still, her poise and fashionable attire at odds with her surroundings.
