Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)».

In the 1940s, Bernard Schultze began to free himself from the conventions of painting. He then quickly advanced to become one of the most important representatives of German Informel, which was decisively influenced by the «Quadriga» artists' group co-founded by him and K.O. Götz, among others. Bernard Schultze's sculptural works, the so-called «Migof», illustrate a central principle of his work, that of letting oneself drift without following a concrete design. Association and chance determine the final form of the works. The Migofs are fluid beings that are in a constant state of metamorphosis.
