In 1905 Bauer began his studies at the Berlin Academy of Art but left the Academy only a few months later to educate himself.

From 1912 Bauer contributed to the magazine and Gallery 'Der Sturm' founded by Herwarth Walden and pivotal to German Expressionism and the international avant-garde. In 1915 Rudolf Bauer participated for the first time in a group show at Walden's gallery.
