Rudolf Bauer(1889-1953)

Painter
Rudolf Bauer was a German-born painter who was involved in the avant-garde group Der Sturm in Berlin, and whose work would become central to the Non-Objective art collection of Solomon R. Guggenheim.

Bauer initially supported himself as an artist by creating illustrations and caricatures for some of the major magazines and newspapers of the day. In 1915 Bauer was invited to participate in a group show at Der Sturm. He would continue to actively participate in the Der Sturm gallery scene through the mid-1920s.

Bauer arrived in New York City just after the official opening of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, in midtown Manhattan.
