Schumann's preferred working material was marble. Many of his marble sculptures were implemented in bronze. Recurring motifs in his work are mother with child, reclining, birds (especially seagulls), rhythmically structured bird compositions and the towering vegetative form.

"The content is not very important, but the form, paired with a boost of intellect and feeling - all of this has to be brought into a harmonious system."
