Bernard Schultze

A Bright Wisp, a Glistening Wind

31 May 2015 would have been Bernard 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.

description

As a co-founder of the QUADRIGA artists’ group Bernard Schultze made an important contribution to the establishment of Art Informel in Germany. This art movement rejected both realistic fi guration 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 and texts and poems by Bernard Schultze himself paint a multifaceted picture of this important post-war artist’s oeuvre.
