About the Item

The painter was born in Austrian, but grew up in Munich and died in 2006 at the age of 77. He was an outstanding personality, atypical in the German art landscape. He started on the path of Expressionism (among his teachers was Oskar Kokoschka) with visions of a life of catastrophes. In later years he developed a distinctive style, which he maintained except for a few minor changes. The figures are delimited by a sweeping line, their colouring is of the utmost purity, but they have not a decorative function but a symbolic one. Male and female figures fill the space, the archaic mask-like faces with enigmatic hollow eyes, like loopholes. Baumgartner now looks for inspiration in ancient Greece of the Dionysian festivals and the Elysian mysteries and, in contrast, in classical tragedy. His art, exercised in the modern intensity of acrylics, now remains mythical, an exemplary expression of the human experience. Text from: Lorenzo Mondo, Mit 77 Jahren ist Baumgartner, Österreicher, ein Maler der Mythen, gestorben, in: La Stampa 10.10.2006
