Maximilian Schulman, also known as Miksa or Max Schulman, studied fine arts and later earned a diploma as an engraver. After World War II he became known as a sculptor of Socialist Realism and made study trips to the Soviet Union (1958) and Bulgaria (1961). Schulman then developed a more vigorous, simplified, and sober plastic expression, taking up themes of contemporary events and heroic motifs. He explored the composition of genre scenes and nudes in motion. Beginning with the Official Salon in 1946, Schulman was continuously present at group exhibitions with busts, statues, and reliefs until the 1970s. He showed his qualities as an engraver with portraits on medals. Schulman supported the Romanian regime as an agitator and held an important position in the Ministry of Art. His Relay was exhibited in Helsinki as a plaster sculpture. The respective bronze sculpture in the format 58 x 58 x 235 cm appeared on the art market entitled Athletes.
