About the Item
John Baker’s “A Good Read” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 46 x 40 inches in yellows and lavenders with dusty red accents. Anecdotal to the extreme, the painting depicts an adolescent girl pausing to reflect on an involving passage in her novel. Her imagination is provoked and perhaps she identifies with the heroine of the narrative. The sides are unpainted and the painting is signed and dated on the reverse.
John Baker is a widely exhibited painter based in Boston and New York whose solo exhibitions have been favorably reviewed in the Boston Globe (his paintings demonstrate that the human figure as a source of fresh ideas still endures), Art New England (Baker’s collages raise a bunch of interesting issues) and American Art Collector (John Baker’s wonderful and worthy project). A native of New York City, Baker was a pupil of Donald Judd for two years. The sculptor’s constructivist method remains an influence on Baker’s collage process, but Baker’s artistic results are more sensual and emotional as he adds the elements of subtle color harmony and reliance on impulse. Baker is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
