Description
Three Pines is Baumann’s only color woodcut of Colorado. It is a result of a trip to Hewes-Kirkwood Inn, located at the foot of Longs Peak near Estes Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. Three Pines was first printed in 1926 and, in 1956, in preparation for his exhibition at the Museum of New Mexico Art Gallery, Baumann printed about fifty impressions. These impressions were pencil signed and titled but were never formally editioned.
