About the Author

Internationally acclaimed artist SULAMITH WULFING was born in 1901 in Wuppertal-Elberfeld, Germany and had her first exhibition of paintings there in 1923. During WWII, she was forced to flee the Nazis with her son and mother while her husband fought for Germany. The family experienced a number of tragic events before they were reunited at Christmas 1945. (She was convinced that only the spiritual support of her teacher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, kept her from the concentration camps.) The years after the war were filled with intense artistic activity and publishing. She died in March 1989 at the age of 88.

This review is from: Motherhood (Collected Works) (Hardcover)

Inspirational is the first word that comes to mind to describe Sulamith Wulfing's enchanting book Motherhood, capturing the essence of motherly compassion and beauty. Her illustrations calm the soul. The text warms the heart. If that wonderful, unconditional, motherly love that we've known or longed for could be captured in a single book, this is it!
