Featuring texts by art historians, authors, psychoanalysts and fellow artists, this book presents delicately coloured and black-and-white drawings and boldly colourful oil paintings as well as Schultze's important reliefs and sculptures.
31 May 2015 would have been Bernhard Schultze's one-hundredth birthday. On the occasion of this anniversary, the publication featuring approximately eighty works of art honours the extensive oeuvre of one of the most important Art Informel artists.
As a co-founder of the QUADRIGA artists' group, Bernhard Schultze made an important contribution to the establishment of Art Informel in Germany. This art movement rejected both realistic figuration and "formulaic" geometric abstraction, drawing instead on intuitive creative powers.
The book presents delicately coloured and black-and-white drawings and boldly colourful oil paintings, as well as Schultze's important reliefs and sculptures. Texts by art historians, authors, psychoanalysts, and fellow artists, alongside texts and poems by Bernhard Schultze himself, paint a multifaceted picture of this important post-war artist's oeuvre.
