Early years

Schüller, born in Austria on April 26, 1900, was a twentieth century contemporary artist devoted to the creation of animal-inspired sculptures. Through a lifetime of artistic experimentation, she created works, at once subtle and bold, traditional and modern, setting a new standard in a subject matter directly connecting with nature.[2]
