Sitting in his State Street studio, Robert Schultz smiled as he described his upcoming showing at the Chazen Museum of Art as “hometown boy makes good.”
Schultz graduated from Madison West High School in 1971 and attended University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1971-76 and again from 1978-81, earning a Master’s of Fine Arts degree in art. Now Schultz’s work, mostly black-and-white human figure drawings in graphite, is featured in galleries in Los Angeles and Chicago (Koplin Del Rio and Printworks Gallery, respectively). An exhibition of his sold work assembled from collectors opens Sept. 20 at the Chazen Museum of Art on the UW-Madison campus.
