Born in Magdeburg, Germany, he immigrated to Chicago as a child, studied both at the Art Institute of Chicago and in Munich, and settled in Santa Fe in 1918, where he became one of the city’s most admired twentieth-century artists. In addition to the color woodcuts for which he is best known, Baumann worked across painting, drawing, sculpture, furniture, and marionettes, and played an important role in the artistic life of Santa Fe.
