German photographer and publisher of picture postcards: "Max Baur was strongly influenced in his work by the avant-garde and the Bauhaus. With his idiosyncratic artistic work as well as with his masterful commissioned photography for advertising, architecture, and industry, Baur established entirely new, original points of view - while always being a master of simple elegance, with a gifted feeling for the beauty of the simplest forms."
