  The Austrian painter, graphic artist, plant hunter and educator Rudolf Baschant attended courses in graphics, lithography, etching and commercial graphics at art schools in Essen, Leipzig, Frankfurt am Main and Weimar in his early years in order to become a graphic artist. With Walter Herzger (lithographic printing) he became workshop manager of the graphic workshop at Giebichenstein Castle, run by Charles Crodel. In Linz, Baschant worked as a municipal official, initially in the Neue Galerie and, from November 1953, in the Botanical Garden of the city of Linz. From 1952 until his death he was a member of the artists' association MAERZ and the professional association of visual artists in Upper Austria. From 1921 to 1924, Baschant worked at the Bauhaus graphic print shop under Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger and Wassily Kandinsky. After completing his master's examination in copperplate printing at the Academy of Book Trades in Leipzig, he worked as a freelance artist. From 1930 to 1933 he taught at the Burg Giebichenstein School of Applied Arts. From 1934 to 1949 he was a scientific illustrator at the Botanical Institute of the University of Halle and at the University of Innsbruck. Baschant sought contact with botanists such as Joseph Friedrich Nicolaus Bornmüller, Otto Schwarz, Wilhelm Troll and Hermann Meusel; He joined their excursions and traveled to Europe as well as to Africa and South America until the beginning of the Second World War. Baschant's only contribution to a scientific-botanical work resulted from his collaboration with Helmut Gams.
