That is an interesting question and one I'm not sure I can answer. I had the opportunity to see Baumann's work in a small museum local to me. It was fascinating. I also saw both the sketch and print side by side. I didn't feel the same dissonance you described. I think I was more interested in how he could make the prints at all with all the color variations and keep the registration correct. Thanks as always for giving us something to ponder.
