Schatz was a member of the well known "Hagenbund" and "Wiener Secession".
In his early paintings he was associated with expressionism. Later on, Otto Rudolf Schatz became a representative of "Die neue Sachlichkeit", an art form containing social criticism. Oustanding were his strong color contrasts; his preferred technic was the woodcut. Often used motifs were the world work and industrialism.
