Bernard Schultze is one of the great German painters of abstraction in the second half of the 20th century. In 1952, together with Karl Otto Götz, Otto Greis and Heinz Kreutz, he founded the artists' group "Quadriga" - the core group of German informal painting. Schultze's works are often described as "lyrically abstract." His predominantly colorful and detailed, meticulously produced paintings are full of elements that evoke a wide variety of associations in the viewer.
Beginning in 1956, he created paintings with plastic pasted from scraps of fabric and waste. His paintings resemble sprawling landscapes, with relief-like superimpositions of layers of paint and textiles, which penetrate forward, into the space and remind of roots, forest and other plants.
