In his work Gustave conveyed the innocence he saw in traditional Pueblo life, the orchards, gardens and ancient Indian petroglyphs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">He did his best to interpret the exotic mysteries of the cave dwellings, ruins, and ancient drawings he encountered. Gustave carved his own a path into the art world and his popularity grew. He sold much of his work directly out of his home to collectors and customers who wrote to him or just stopped by.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Gustave enjoyed the ceremonies at various Pueblos and also collected kachina dolls and pottery. Many of his prints illustrate the rituals of traditional Native American life as well as Roman Catholic Colonial-era churches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cMy studio really is a shop thus I am a craftsman by choice and an artist by accident,\u201d he wrote. \u201cSince the two are closely related, I\u2019ve always felt that need for combining them to the point where they merge into a unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">People knew him as Gus and he sold his woodcuts to locals and tourists alike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">During the Depression Gustave, his wife Jane and daughter Ann built and operated their own marionette theater. Over two decades the artist created 65 different marionettes, some representing the Baumann\u2019s themselves. The artist designed and carved the marionettes, made costumes and wrote most of the scripts for the plays. Never a money maker, it was a family project that everyone especially audiences appreciated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Today Gustave\u2019s work is more popular than ever. His art is held in over 100 museum collections in the United States and Great Britain and his work is highly sought after by museums and collectors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">That doesn\u2019t include reproductions such as note cards, posters and calendar images.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">On June 24-25, 2022, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santafeartauction.com\">Santa Fe Art Auction<\/a> held its Summer sale.
