“Paul Wunderlich is to me like a kindred spirit and, thank God, my affection involves both working for and with him. I love his mental chasms, visible to hardly anyone, his hidden caverns, in which many have tumbled head first lost in admiration. He is an aesthete, drawing across shallows from a delicate world of emotions, with a smile, well-read, barely in the here and now, a worker bee and a confident perfectionist. And an explorer, a master of many areas of art: as a lithographer, an etcher and a draughtsman, a painter and a sculptor.” (quote by Claus Steinrötter fromPaul Wunderlich: The Andere Sicht, Galerie Steinrötter, Münster, 2004)

„Paul Wunderlich ist ein Mitglied meiner Geistesverwandtschaft, und meine Zuneigung ist gottlob gleichzeitig meine Arbeit für und mit ihm. Ich liebe seine geistigen Abgründe, die kaum jemand sieht, seine verdeckten Gruben, in die schon viele voller Bewunderung kopfüber abstürzten. Er ist ein Ästhet, der lächelnd Untiefen überzeichnet aus einer hauchzarten Empfindungswelt heraus, belesen, wenig diesseits, eine Arbeitsbiene und überzeugter Perfektionist. Und ist Entdecker, ein Meister auf vielen Feldern der Kunst: als Lithograph, Radierer und Zeichner, als Maler und Skulpteur.“ (Zitat von Claus Steinrötter
