- Powerful and with a great sense of the human being, Werner Scholz creates haunting figures with a lasting presence. - Rare motif: only a few works from his oeuvre with a musical theme are known. - Strong colors with black contour lines are typical of the period after the Second World War. - Works by the artist can be found in renowned museum collections, such as the Museum Folkwang in Essen and the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. - In February 2024, an extensive exhibition on the artist's early work will open at the Ernst Barlach Haus in Hamburg.
