OverviewCharacterised by their radiant colour and confident brushstrokes, the ""African"" paintings of Ruth Baumgarte are a dynamic reflection of the German artist's deep passion for the continent. After working as an illustrator Ruth Baumgarte found ultimate fulfillment as a painter when she started visiting Africa in the 1950s. She traveled to the African continent forty times over the course of her life. Her large-format oil paintings, often created from memory in her studio, are both a joyful expression of her love for the land and people, but also a way of preserving cultures.
