Ruth Baumgarte (1923–2013) began to explore Africa as an observer in the 1950s and, from 1984, as an artist, making sketches and studies in southern African countries. Her work, remarkable in its exotic colours and observation of landscape, people and social context, was the subject of an exhibition at the Ludwig Museum, Koblenz: this accompanying volume includes essays in German, English and French and reproductions of 85 paintings, watercolours and drawings.
After working as an illustrator Ruth Baumgarte found ultimate fulfillment as a painter when she started visiting Africa in the 1950s. She traveled to the African continent forty times over the course of her life. Her large-format oil paintings, often created from memory in her studio, are both a joyful expression of her love for the land and people, but also a way of preserving cultures. This book features both renowned and lesser-known works, including portraits, landscapes, and graphic works and all have her individual, rapid stroke style. Saturated with bright primary colors, these paintings leap off the page, and give off a nearly palpable heat. With rich illustrations, this book shows Ruth Baumgarte's impression of Africa as a captivating and beautiful place.
