Ruth Baumgarte’s extensive illustrative work is an important component of her oeuvre. In this field of activity, the artist’s dual talent as a passionate draftswoman and sensitive interpreter of literary texts is clearly evident. The third volume of the catalogue raisonné provides insights into the broad spectrum of these creative fields, from magazine and book illustrations to advertising imagery. Introductory essays shed light on the special features of individual groups of illustrations by this versatile graphic artist. This volume adds an important chapter to the exciting but, in terms of research, still underestimated thematic field of women illustrators in the postwar art world of West Germany.
