About the Item
John Baker’s “Down he Goes II,” an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 20 x 16 inches in tans, whites and earth tones with red and green highlights, is from the artist’s new “Fall of the White Male Series.” The works in this series depict, in metamorphic images, the uncertainties and declines that have evolved in the personalities of white males in the current historical situation. In “Down he Goes II” the hat-wearing, unanchored type on the right emerges from the medical man type on the left suggesting an erosion of security and status reinforced by the stylistic asymmetries in the handling of the two halves of the divided image. 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.
