Creator Bio
Hannelore Baron
1926–1987
Hannelore Baron fled Germany with her family in 1938 after Kristallnacht and settled in the United States. She started her career painting in the style of Abstract Expressionism, but in 1958 began to create collages and box constructions out of found materials such as scraps of fabric, wood, string, and discarded print fragments. Her work drew upon her own experiences, historical and current events, and Native American art, African art, and Persian miniatures. Though she rarely exhibited during her lifetime, Baron’s work is found in collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Israel Museum.
