"Sulamith ist Träumerin, Zauberin und Horcherin. Das Leben hat ihre junge, frische Seele noch nicht ein einziges Mal

geritzt. Ist so rein und glücklich wie der Tautropfen, der schimmernd an einem Buschwindröschen hängt. Sie ist Dürers

liebliche, verspielte Tochter"

Max Jungnickel - Dürers kleine Tochter, 1929

(eng) "Sulamith is a dreamer, a magician and a listener. Life has not yet scratched her young, fresh soul once. She is as pure

and happy as the dewdrop shimmering on an Anemone. She is Dürer's lovely, playful daughter"

Max Jungnickel - Dürer's little daughter, 1929

Sulamith Wülfing wurde am 11. Januar 1901 in Elberfeld, dem heutigen Wuppertal, als Tochter der theosophischen Eltern

Karl und Hedwig Wülfing geboren. Als Kind hatte Sulamith Visionen von Engeln, Feen und Naturgeistern und begann diese im

Alter von vier Jahren zu zeichnen. Die Visionen setzten sich ihr ganzes Leben lang fort und inspirierten ihre Arbeiten. 1921

schloss sie ihr Studium an der Kunsthochschule Wuppertal ab und heiratete 11 Jahre später Otto Schulze, einen Professor an

der Kunsthochschule. Gemeinsam gründeten sie den Sulamith Wülfing Verlag. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Elberfeld und das

umliegende Industriegebiet durch Bomben angegriffen. Wülfings Haus und viele ihrer Bilder wurden zerstört. Während des

Krieges wurde ihre Familie getrennt. Und als sie eine falsche Meldung über den Tod ihres Mannes an der russischen Front

erhielt, floh sie mit ihrem einzigen Kind nach Frankreich. Erst später wurden sie wieder vereint. Unter dem Nazi-Regime

wurden ihre Bücher verbrannt und sie wurde aufgefordert, nach den damaligen Regeln zu malen, die große Heldenszenen

mit dem Staatsoberhaupt waren. Wülfing betrachtete den Religionslehrer Jiddu Krishnamurti als ihren spirituellen Mentor.

Sie sagte dass sein Einfluss ihr in schwierigen Zeiten geholfen habe.

Wülfing starb 1989 im Alter von 88 Jahren.

(eng) Sulamith Wülfing was born in Elberfeld, today Wuppertal in Germany on January 11, 1901 to Theosophist parents Karl

and Hedwig Wülfing. As a child, Sulamith had visions of angels, fairies and nature spirits and began to draw these creatures

at the age of four. The visions continued throughout her life, and directly inspired her paintings. She graduated from the Art

College in Wuppertal in 1921, and 11 years later she married Otto Schulze, a professor at the Art College. Together, they

created the Sulamith Wülfing publishing house. During World War II, Elberfeld and the surrounding industrial area became a

bombing target. Wülfing's house was destroyed, along with many of her paintings. Her family became separated during the

war, when she received a false report of her husband's death on the Russian front and fled to

France with her only child. They were later reunited. Under the Nazi regime her books were

burned and she was told to paint by the rules at the time, which were large heroic scenes with

the leader of States. Wülfing considered the religious teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti her spiritual

mentor and believed his influence helped her through difficult times. Wülfing died in 1989 at

the age of 88.

In Wuppertal gibt es seit erst kurzer Zeit eine Sulamith Wülfing Straße und gleichnamige

Bushaltestelle.

(eng) In Wuppertal, a street with its own bus stop has been named after Wülfing.
