About the Item

Original 1936 color woodcut print titled "A Quiet Corner" numbered and signed by Gustave Baumann in pencil. The print is present in the original frame chosen by the artist. Print: 7 1/2" x 8 5/8" image Frame: 15" x 15" image Reference: Chamberlain 150; GB113 United States, 1936 This serene shadowed patio with turquoise benches and a vine covered trellis was discovered by Baumann in Velarde, New Mexico. This imagery obviously pleased Baumann as he returned to it three times. He carved the scene in a linear block to be included in his block book, Woodcut Impressions of New Mexico. He then carved a smaller linear block of the same imagery which he included in his self-published pamphlet Gus Baumann Sketch Booklet for 1949. In 1958, he cut another block with similar imagery but with the addition of a Santo in his niche for his holiday greeting card. Gustave Baumann was born in Magdeburg, Germany on 27 June 1881. Ten years later his family immigrated to the US, settling in Chicago. In 1896, Baumann began working in the commercial art field while saving money to study in Germany. After returning from Munich in December 1905 where he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Baumann worked again in commercial art to support his family. In 1909, he discovered Brown County, Indiana where life was inexpensive and he could stay for three months. He produced a series of small format color woodcuts featuring the people and places of Brown County and then produced five large format color woodcuts. His woodcuts were accepted by the committee for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition and he won a gold medal. In 1916. Baumann headed east to Wyoming, New York in 1917 and taught at a summer school. From there he headed to Provincetown, Massachusetts and New York City before returning to set up his studio in Wyoming. Many of his Chicago artist buddies had traveled to the southwest and Baumann became intrigued by their paintings and their souvenirs. They regaled him with their stories of an exotic place named Taos, New Mexico. Baumann spent the summer of 1918 in Taos sketching and painting before visiting Santa Fe. His funds were low and he needed to head back to Chicago but first stopped at the new art museum in Santa Fe to see an exhibition of his woodcuts. Paul Walter, the director of the Museum of New Mexico, offered him a studio in the basement of the museum. His wanderlust was satisfied as apart from numerous sketching trips over the years he remained in Santa Fe until his death on October 8, 1971. During his ninety years, Baumann produced woodcuts, paintings, furniture, sculpture, toys and marionettes and wrote poetry and plays. Baumann was the ultimate craftsman, as he loved the feel of the wood, the tool and the handmade paper he selected. His hands controlled every aspect of his craft: the carving of the blocks, the mixing of the inks and the printing of the blocks. Exhibitions of Baumann's color woodcuts circulated throughout the country in large part due to the American Federation of the Arts and the National Association of Women's Clubs. He also exhibited with the New Mexico Painters, the International Print Makers, Painters and Sculptors of the Southwest, and the Hoosier Salons. Solo exhibitions of Baumann's color woodcuts were mounted in museums and libraries across the United States and his work was represented in galleries from Carmel, California to New York City.
