Sulamith Wulfing

Have you heard of Sulamith Wulfing? She was an artist born in Germany in 1901. Wulfing created some of the most beautify, ethereal works of art I have ever seen. The people in her drawings are luminous and there is a wistfulness to her work, as though she knew she was the only one who saw the world in that way. Apparently, she began drawing at a very young age, putting down on paper the world as she saw it. Wulfing's world contained angels combined with fairytale elements usually lost outside of dreams. Her attention to detail is astounding, just look closely at any of her works. Women's gowns are accented with Norse and Celtic influenced designs and knot work. She made precision an important element of her work. However, the overall effect of her art is an image viewed through a thick mist. Many of her drawings were sold as holiday cards or were commissioned as illustrations for children's books. If you like fairy/angel art, you will love her work.
