Bernard Schultze paints from an arbitrarily determined beginning, following color and brush. His paintings are associative and often convey a narrative through their titles. "ein Veitstanz im Frühling" ("A St. Vitus Dance in Spring") is a cheerful, light-filled work with spring-like colors and shapes. At the same time, however, the title hints at what the style shows: a will-less dancing frenzy.
