About Fritz Baumgarten (illustrator)
- Fritz Baumgarten (18 August 1883, Reudnitz (now part of Leipzig) – 3 November 1966, Leipzig) was a German illustrator. He illustrated countless children's books in light pen works, coloured richly and very painterly with watercolours.
- His style was very modern, loose and impressionistic, but still with strong roots in life-drawing, animals drawing and academic composition. His fantasy world was populated with temperate forests' animals, elves and fairies, farm animals, children and teddy bears. His whole work has a definite feeling of possible, of real, of lived through scenes, almost down to earth, while at the same time being totally free-floating in imagination, almost psychedelic.
