Gustave Baumann (1881 - 1971)

A master of the color woodcut, Gustave Baumann was born in Magdeburg, Germany, but grew up in Chicago from the age of 10. After study at the Art Institute of Chicago and work as a commercial artist, he returned to Germany in 1905 for a year's study of the art of color woodcut. Upon winning the Gold Medal for printmaking at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, Baumann was asked to organize the first exhibition of American woodcut prints at the Art Institute of Chicago. After spending time at artist colonies in Brown County, Indiana, and Provincetown, Massachusetts, he moved to Taos in 1918 and then settled permanently in Santa Fe.
