Mark Baum painted continuously for more than 70 years during the 20th century. In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s he pursued a direct representational technique with city and landscape motifs, painting in Manhattan, Central Pennsylvania, Georgia, rural New York and Provincetown.
In the 1960s, he moved to southern Maine where his style evolved to become exclusively non-objective and large-format canvases exploring compositions of small repeated elements and color nuance. He wrote, “My paintings are based on units organized into groups and movements and rhythms which attempt to parallel the flow of human emotional life.”
Baum was an active painter until the time of his death at age 94. For more information about the artist, visit www.markbaum.com.
