About the Item
John Baker’s “The Book Mark” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 30 x 24 inches in maroon, orange, white and blue. A young woman, dressed in prim fashion, has looked up from her book and appears to be pondering. The large, elaborate and rather peculiar book mark suggests that for her reading has a special space in her life, perhaps a space touched by a quality of ritual. 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 based in Boston, MA.
