Ali Kurt Baumgarten
Ali Kurt Baumgarten (born March 21, 1914 in Judenbach ; † April 4, 2009 in Coburg ) was a German graphic artist, artisan and painter who was close to Expressionism .
In 1928 Baumgarten attended the technical school for toys and ceramics in Sonneberg , headed by Karl Staudinger , and there he learned how to make toys and ceramics as an artist by 1932. He then studied with Karl Caspar , Hugo Troendle and Olaf Gulbransson at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , as well as with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff in Berlin. During the time of National Socialism he was banned from painting. After the end of the Second World War he worked in the GDR in the toy industry as a designer and in the field of “ art in building ”. After reunification, he turned back to Expressionism, the last German representative of which he was considered. In 2001 he ended his artistic career for health reasons. The Ali Kurt Baumgarten Museum of the Judenbach Foundation, which opened in Judenbach in 2017, documents his life as well as his work in the field of art and toy design.
