Julius Wofgang Schuelein was born into a family of Munich bankers. After studying law and philosophy, Schuelein enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, from which he graduated in 1907. The next year found him in Paris, where he studied at the private art school "La Palette." He married the French portrait painter and designer Suzanne Carvallo in 1912. After the couple's return to Munich in the same year, Schuelein co-founded the New Secession, which was dedicated to keeping the spirit of innovation alive in German art. Schuelein was a friend of the Mann brothers, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee. In 1930 the Schueleins moved to Berlin, attracted by the city's vibrant art life. However, their stay lasted only three years. After the Nazi takeover in 1933 they flrd to Paris. After a brief internment at Montauban in the South of France, Schuelein emigrated to the U.S., where he died in 1970.
