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.
