Gustave Baumann Color Woodblock - Three Pines

1956

About the Item

“Three Pines” by well-known woodblock artist Gustave Baumann (1881-1971). The medium is color woodblock. It's a beautiful print in excellent condition. Baumann's personal Hand and Heart stamp is seen lower right with his pencil signature. The date the work was created is seen in pencil after the signature - ‘56. Chamberlin Raisonne #109. This work is Edition no. 3 with 50 or fewer impressions in six colors. These were known to be unnumbered but dated ‘56. Image size: 11 3/4"h x 9 1/2"w. Frame size: 21"h x 22"w. The work rests in a contemporary Baumann style frame. Born in Madgeburg, Germany, Gustave Baumann is best known for prints made from his detailed hand-carved wood blocks. His family emigrated to the United States when he was a child, and he grew up in Chicago. He returned to Germany to study in Munich at the Kunstgewerbe Schule and then took further training at the Art Institute of Chicago. He spent time in Indiana and is much associated with the artists who gravitated to Brown County. In that state, Bauman made woodblocks illustrating work by Indiana authors. Baumann and several other artists decided to see firsthand the reportedly light, clear air of New Mexico that they had been hearing about from other Chicago artists, and in 1918, he settled in Santa Fe where, for over fifty years, he participated in the art community. He created wood blocks from which he made prints, and also became a carver of saints and marionettes, working the the Marionnette Theater, and carving his 'little people'. He also did numerous paintings in bright colors. His woodcut subjects are church figures, scenes of sacred Indian pictographs, and landscapes including the Grand Canyon. During the 1930s, he was WPA co-ordinator for Santa Fe.
