Eduard B\u00e4umer was born in Kastellaun in Hunsr\u00fcck in 1892. His family moved to Frankfurt am Main in 1895. After the early death of his father in 1904, B\u00e4umer\u2019s mother married again, though she, too, died in 1911. B\u00e4umer did an apprenticeship with a decorator in Frankfurt and also attended evening classes at the School of Arts and Crafts in Frankfurt. After completing his apprenticeship in 1908, he was given a scholarship to the School of Arts and Crafts, where he studied with Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel (1881\u20131965). In 1910, B\u00e4umer began studies at the St\u00e4del Art Institute, though these were interrupted when the First World War broke out in 1914. After the end of the war, B\u00e4umer returned to the St\u00e4del Institute in Frankfurt, where he joined the master studio until 1922. In 1923, he married a fellow student, Valerie Feix (1898\u20131992), who was Jewish.\nIn 1924, the B\u00e4umers travelled to Italy along with friends who were also painters, visiting Florence, Arezzo, Rome and Abruzzo. Eduard B\u00e4umer\u2019s first exhibition was held afterwards in Frankfurt, and featured paintings he had made during this trip. He became acquainted with Max Beckmann (1884\u20131950), Paul Hindemith (1895\u20131963) and Georg Swarzenski (1876\u20131957), who was the director of the St\u00e4del Art Institute at the time. In 1927, B\u00e4umer got to know Johannes Itten (1888\u20131967), with whom he became friends for life. B\u00e4umer attended his summer school in Allg\u00e4u in 1927 and the Itten School in Berlin. In 1930, he travelled to Paris, where he became friends with Georges Braque (1882\u20131963), Fernand L\u00e9ger (1881\u20131955) and Raoul Dufy (1877\u20131953). \nAfter the Nazis assumed power, B\u00e4umer\u2019s art was vilified, and he moved with his family to Salzburg. In 1938, after the annexation of Austria into the German Reich, B\u00e4umer was forbidden from working as a painter, and his family\u2019s assets were confiscated. B\u00e4umer was not willing to divorce his Jewish wife, so both were committed to forced labour from 1943 onwards.\nIn 1942, B\u00e4umer was still able to organise his first large-scale exhibition in Vienna, at the W\u00fcrthle Gallery (at the time the Welz Gallery). In 1944, he had to flee from Salzburg with his family; they returned after the end of the war. In 1947, the Viennese professors Max Fellerer (1889\u20131957) and Oswald Haerdtl (1899\u20131959) visited B\u00e4umer in his Salzburg studio and invited him to head the masterclass for painting at the Academy for Applied Arts in Vienna. He was made a professor in 1950. B\u00e4umer retired from the Academy in 1963, after which he devoted himself solely to painting, working primarily in the south of Italy.<\/p>\n
