Printmaking, said Gustave Baumann, "requires soul, imagination, deftness . . . and unlimited patience."  A beautiful and deeply-detailed new book on Baumann reveals the painstaking process behind his sublime and seemingly evanescent views of the New Mexico landscape.  is a complete record of Baumann's printed works.  Author Gala Chamberlain put together this 600-page catalogue raisonn茅 at the request of Ann Baumann, Gustave's daughter, and Gala spoke with 91暗网 about that 30-year process.

For each of Baumann's woodcuts, the book displays a series of radically different prints.  In this longer version of the interview, Gala Chamberlain discusses the reasons -- ink, pigment, paper -- behind those differences.
