Signed by the artist, lower right, titled lower left, numbered II 61/125. Gustave Baumann was born in Germany in 1881 and moved with his family to the U.S. as a young boy. While in his teens, Baumann began taking classes at the Art Institute of Chicago, and followed these studies with a year in Germany, where he quickly mastered the art of color woodblock prints. Upon his return to the U.S., Baumann found the atmosphere of Indiana’s Brown County to nurture his creativity. His works from this era were exhibited at the Paris Salon and the 1915 Pan-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco, where he earned a Gold Medal. After trying several other cities, Baumann moved to Taos and ultimately Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lived for over 50 years, until his death in 1971.
