John Jay Baumgartner
Lady by the Pond, 1920's Art Nouveau Nude Figurative Landscape

1924

About the Item

Delicate and vibrant mid-1920's depiction of a nude woman sitting on the edge of a bathing pool by John Jay Baumgartner (American, 1865-1946). Soft light filters through dense foliage, illuminating the woman and pool in the center of the piece. The woman sits on a rock at the edge of the pond, turned away from the viewer, creating a sense of mystery. Foliage in the background is slightly out of focus, continually drawing the viewer's eye back to the woman. Signed and dated in the lower left corner "J. Jay Baumgartner Tassajara 24". Presented in a gold frame with a double mat and plexiglas. Paper size approx: 11"H x 15"W Born in Milwaukee, WI on Jan. 24, 1865. Baumgartner was a self-taught painter. He settled in San Francisco in 1894 and for over 50 years was an active member of the local art scene. Painting in oil, tempera, and watercolor, his subjects were primarily landscapes and pastoral scenes with figures. He died in San Francisco on Oct. 18, 1946. Member: Bohemian Club; San Francisco Art Association. Exh: Milwaukee Expo, 1892 (gold medal); San Francisco Art Association, 1900; Society for Sanity in Art, CPLH, 1940, 1945.
