Customer Reviews

Indiana artist

This is a wonderful book introducing one of the greatest of all Indiana landscape artists and a printmaker of national stature. Those interested in this book might also be interested in "Indiana Dunes Revealed: the Art of Frank V. Dudley".

Fantastic Imagery

While the collection of images included is not exhaustive of all work done by Baumann, it provides a thorough sampling of his life work and details the process by which he created his masterpieces. Excellent book. FYI, my understanding is that a new compendium will be done in 2008 that should be a good complement to this book.

Wonderfully done book

A nicely crafted book that covers all bases in this artists career. Great reproductions of the prints, well-written text and a solid book to hold in your hand. History on Baumann covers beginning of career to the end with just a touch of the technical side of this art form. Certainly inspired me!
