The only color woodcut from Baumann’s 1926 visit to Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Three Pines illuminates the rural scene with pulsating bright black, blue, orange, turquoise green, yellow ochre, and purple. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice not all prints are the same; in the first edition there’s crosshatching in the sky ab...
Looking out from the front porch of noted arts patron Lydia Coonley Ward in Wyoming, New York, this serene scene was originally carved in a run of ten prints. A later edition around 1935 included a few minor changes. “On Sunday mornings after a selected evening reading by Mrs. Ward, the Zoellner Quartet played Bach music out-of-doors as I have neve...
Baumann wasn’t just a master of woodblock prints of southwestern landscapes. In fact, he was also a master of oil paints and even favoured this style in later years due to his arthritis. The vibrant colors he’s famed for remain, as does his enthusiasm for Mexican culture, but the pentagonal form of the board ensures Cochiti Ensemble of native Puebl...
Also known as White Trees, Baumann’s command of color is evident here, as the flawless and brooding metal leaf sky vies for attention with the white blossom tree. The color woodcut with aluminium leaf artwork originally produced in 1930 is a signature work by Baumann that has proved popular with buyers thanks to its rich scene, which reveals girls ...
Baumann delighted in trying to emulate New Mexico’s exotic natural beauty and strong light. Indeed, he was such an enthusiast of the region’s natural beauty that he noted, “the palette and theories regarding color east of the Mississippi should all be tossed in the river as you cross the bridge.” The process to produce the clear and vibrant colors ...
As Baumann travelled throughout the United States, his work reflected the beautiful scenery, but also documented the history of his atmospheric scenes. His large format woodcut of the Washington Barnes Cabin for example is intertwined with Brown County folklore. The couple inhabiting physically divided their cabin rather than getting a divorce and ...
In a departure from the scenes of rural America, Baumann’s study of a Tulip once again highlights his mastery of contrasting colors, as the signature silver leaf background allows the brilliance of the rich green and the delicacy of the pink and orange flowers to bloom. Tulips also features Baumann’s signature orange heart in hand chop mark, which ...
The landscape of New Mexico enraptured Baumann. May’s monsoon season brought with it the perfect conditions for the juxtaposed bright brilliance of his art, as the dramatic cloud patterns contrasted with the rich brilliance of the arid, sun-baked desert. Baumann is said to have referred the cloud formation as “walking rain” and he deftly captured i...
Sante Fe had been Baumann’s home for nearly a decade by 1927. He was married to the actress Jane Devereaux and awaiting the birth of their daughter, so with travel limited he looked to his roots for fresh inspiration a drew upon old sketches of his former home in Brown County, Indiana where the richness of the fall leaves give it depth, as does the...
It wasn’t just the landscape of New Mexico that appealed to Baumann, as he also collected Kachina dolls and had a collection on the mantle of his Canon Road studio. The brightness of Baumann’s brilliant yellows and pinks give the rare print a dreamlike quality. Baumann was seemingly proud of this print judging by the number of times he submitted it...
