Von Bismarck bis Picasso: Erinnerungen und Bekenntnisse. Kulterman writes that his writing exceeded the bounds of good taste and was unflatteringly confessional. At his best, he was attuned to the cultural currents of the eras about which he wrote. He characterized the religious painting of Spain, for example as reflecting the dichotomies of the Spanish monarchy: Catholicism and absolutism.

He also contributed to four popular handbooks, two encyclopedias, and authored more than 100 technical papers and magazine articles. His writing style became particularly popular with art journalists. However, he did little primary research (he was rather anti-academic) on his artists and his books are full of mistakes and wandering personal interpretation.
