David Curtis Baker
Jackson New Hampshire Winter Scene, David Curtis Baker (1915-1999) listed artist

1960

About the Item

This is a very colorful winter scene of the Ellis River in northeastern New Hampshire, near Jackson. The river begins at the base of Mount Washington and eventually joins the Saco River, through Maine. The day is a mostly clear one, and the landscape is snow covered, but the river still running without ice. Artist David C. Baker used a variety of colors with a modernist tendency to create the scene. The structure of the leafless trees is a foreground to the distant mountains beyond. It’s a sunny day and the painting exudes light, even though it is winter. David C. Baker was born in New York City in 1915 and after the war opened his gallery in Jackson in 1951. His specialty was local scenes in and near his home base. This is one of those, and it dates to the late 1950’s or very early 1960’s. The frame is original to the piece and is light colored painted wood to enhance the feeling of winter. Its broadly canted sides create a strong sense of perspective to the overall work. On the reverse side of the painting is an original gallery label from his studio with the title “Winter on the Ellis River” and other notations. The painting is signed on the front, lower left and it measures 16” x 20”. Overall framed dimensions are 22” x 26”. Both the work, oil on board, and frame are in very good condition. The painting has been recently cleaned by an art restorer and freshly varnished. The frame shows minor signs of wear here and there, but still presents well for viewing purposes.
