A Printmaker's Legacy

Today I recieved an email from the director of the American Print Alliance asking if I was related to Gustave Baumann. To begin, I really am not certain. I will have to refer to my father for the answer since he's the genealogy man. But I would like to believe this to be true :) Gustave was one of the leading figures for the color woodcut revival for America. So who better to lead off in his footsteps almost 100 years later to attempt to revive practice of stone lithography:) Anyways, I humored myself with this one. I'll follow up when I find if there is any relation. In the mean time, you can check out more on Gustave Baumman.
