In its original case
Trained in an environment where the academic tradition remained dominant, Albert Schultz developed a plastic language that was both faithful to classical forms and attentive to the human realities of his time.
His work adopts a sensitive treatment of his figures, emphasizing their expressions. Whether busts, commemorative monuments or decorative sculptures, his works testify to a desire to give a tangible presence to the individuals represented. This approach is in keeping with the tradition of public sculpture, which sought to embody collective values and assert a regional identity.
Schultz's importance in the artistic history of Alsace lies in his role in the embellishment of public space. Many of his works have helped to shape the region's urban and memorial landscape, helping to dramatize local history and promote its key figures. Through their enduring presence in public spaces, these sculptures have contributed to inscribing collective memory in bronze.
In addition to the public spaces where his sculptures are displayed, Albert Schultz's work can be seen at Strasbourg's Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain and the city's Musée Historique.
