Hans Schuler

Hans K. Schuler was a Germanborn American sculptor and monument maker. He was the first American sculptor ever to win the Salon Gold Medal. His works are in several important museum collections, and he also created many public monuments, mostly for locations in Maryland and in the Washington, D.C., area. For over a quarter of a century he served as president of the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Hans Schuler was born in a part of AlsaceLorraine which was then under German sovereignty, though it is now part of France. Schulers family emigrated to the United States while he was still a youngster. He graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, having studied there at the Rinehart School of Sculpture.
