What Baum provides in his large oil paintings is an historical record of the locale as well as his exploration of style. Working as an art columnist for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin and later the Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin for over 30 years, Baum wrote hundreds of articles about art in the community. Clearly his career as an artist and writer were only partially able to support his family of four children. To supplement his income, Baum taught art classes and eventually opened an art academy in Allentown that became known as The Baum School. For information about the lecture or the exhibition, call 372-4059.
Special tours are available.
The Office of Public Relations, Publications, and Sports Information is located in the lower level of Selinsgrove Hall.
