Wols Biography

Wols (1913-1951), born Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze, was a German-French artist known for his pioneering contributions to Tachism and Art Informel, post-World War II abstract movements. Initially gaining recognition as a photographer, he transitioned into drawing and painting. His artworks, characterized by their abstract, spontaneous and gestural qualities, exerted a significant influence on the development of abstract expressionism. Despite his premature death, Wols' unique style made a profound impact on modern art.
