Life
Born in Stettin as the son of a publisher, Schulz attended the Stettin School of Applied Arts from 1939 to 1941. He had to break off his studies at the Academy of Graphic Arts and Book Trade 1942–1944 because he was drafted into the Wehrmacht . From 1959 to 1976 he was a teacher in the art education department at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig . From 1976 he worked as a freelancer.
In the 1950s he dealt with realistic socialist history painting . From 1965 he turned to natural pictures, later black and white techniques such as zincography and algraphy . Inspired by a trip to Bulgaria, Schulz created colored paintings again. His still lifes show people in a social context. Later he painted abstract.
His mural in the Beucha elementary school in casein-secco technique is one of the most important mural paintings of the 1950s, alongside the mural by Max Uhlig and Frederike Schubert in the lecture hall of the anatomical institute of the Faculty of Human Medicine in Leipzig.
