Young Paul Baum learned the craft of porcelain painting at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in the Saxon city of Meissen. However, he soon became bored of painting flowers, birds and patterns and therefore decided to study painting at the age of 18. He first went to the art academy in nearby Dresden, where he was trained by Friedrich Friedrich Preller dem Jüngeren, a well-known landscape and marine painter. After one year he changed to the art school in Weimar, where he continued his studies with the Düsseldorf landscape painter Theodor Hagen. During this time Baum also undertook his first longer trips to Mecklenburg and Hamburg, and later to the Netherlands and Belgian Flanders. For a while he also spent time near Munich in the artists' colony of Dachau, which at the time was the most important artists' colony in Germany after Worpswede.
During a trip to Paris, which Baum undertook together with the painter Max Arthur Stremel, he became acquainted with the works of Claude Monet, Camille Jacob Pissarro and Alfred Sisley. The painting style of the three painters increasingly inspired him. He moved from Bavaria to Flanders to the town of Knogge and even met Pissaro personally. After Knogge, the Dutch settlement of Sint Anna ter Muiden in the province of Zeeland became his home for a long time. His landscape paintings from both regions are among his most important works. Very well known are for example "Flemish farmhouses in the snow"," Sint Anne ter Muiden - "Willows by the stream", "Village street in Holland" and "Dense group of trees by a Dutch canal". His stay in the Netherlands was interrupted by various trips, for example to the South of France, Turkey and Italy. He stayed in Tuscany for four years and in Rome for one year. After the outbreak of World War I, Paul Baum returned to Germany and became a professor at the Dresden Academy of Art. Since he was very busy, he stayed there only one year, followed by stays in Schwalm, Kassel and Marburg. At the end of his life, the artist went back south and spent most of his time in Tuscany, where he finally died of pneumonia at the age of 73.
Paul Berg was a very important representative of German Impressionism. His oil paintings are particularly striking for their bright and friendly colours and the comma or dotted brushstrokes, also known as pointillism. He created not only oil paintings, but also watercolours, drawings and lithographs. For the value of his life he was awarded, among other things, an honorary doctorate from the University of Marburg.
