German painter,
etcher, lithographer and illustrator, Karl Bauer first studied art at the
Gymnasium die Kunstschule in his native Stuttgart. He then entered the
Kunstakademie, Munich, and studied under Professor Wilhelm von Lindenschmit.
Karl Bauer's education concluded in Paris in 1893 at the Academie Julian. During
the following ten years he travelled extensively and both lived and worked in
Belgium, Holland, England and Italy. In the early years of the twentieth
century Karl Bauer returned to Stuttgart and became a leading member of the
Secessionist movement there. In his paintings and original prints, Karl Bauer
proved to be a master of figure studies and portraits. In the latter category he
etched and painted Germany's most famous political, scientific and artistic
figures, both past and present, such as, Menzel, Boecklin, Bismarck, Nietzsche
and Frederick the Great. His services were also called upon to illustrate a
number of fine books. Among his best work in this field is Heine's Livre des
Chants and The Temptation of Saint Anthony.
