About the Work

In 1947, after returning from the war, Bernard Schultze moved to Frankfurt am Main. It was there that, presumably around 1948, he executed this rather surrealistic pencil drawing of a fantastical creature in a wide dream landscape. In the years that followed, taking inspiration from Wols (Städel Museum, Inv. No. SG 3385), Schultze emancipated himself more and more from figural and representational depiction. Now his works came to be dominated increasingly by dense webs of widely branching lines and layered traces of paint, as seen in his drawing for the book "Quadriga" (Städel Museum, Inv. No. SG 4150B).
