"Richard B. Baumann is a master painter who deserves to be even better known than he already is."

Fine Art Connoisseur, July/August 2009

"His interior scenes and landscapes are brilliant examples of how colors, shapes, and values can be simplified so they will have the maximum impact in a painting."

American Artist Magazine, November 2007.

Painting is an antidote to mediocrity. For me, it is a celebration of nature and of joy.

Richard B. Baumann
