Color PaletteThe Artist; Ann Baumann (daughter), Santa Rosa, California (by descent); given to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2008.
On the heels of his award of a gold medal for printmaking at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, Baumann, a woodcut specialist, was asked by his hometown museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, to organize an exhibition of his specialty. Among the 147 prints that he solicited for American Block Prints and Wood Engravings opening on February 2, 1916 were the first examples of the innovative “Provincetown prints,” which had come into being only months before.
The next year Baumann left Brown County, Indiana and Chicago for the East. In the fall he spent several weeks in Provincetown making prints with his fellow woodblock printmakers whom he had introduced in his Art Institute exhibition.
