Otto Baum | Sculptor
1900 Leonberg – 1977 Esslingen
After 1933, Baum was suspended from art exhibitions because of his rather abstract stylistic idiom. Nevertheless, through the assistance of the Stuttgart architect Paul Bonatz, he created a number of larger architectural sculptures. In 1946, Baum, together with Willi Baumeister, was appointed professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. The architect Bodo Rasch, husband of Lilo, designed his house in Esslingen-Neckarhalde. The close connection with the Rasch family is reflected in Lilo’s family portrait from 1952, where Lilo depicts the shellac coated plaster sculpture “Kämmende” (Girl Combing Her Hair) (WV 51 A1) created by Braun in 1930, presumably recording the inaugural visit at the Baum residence.
