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.
