About the Item
John Baker’s “Young Debutante with a Mask of her Mother”, an acrylic painting with collage on canvas 25 x 21.75 inches in dusty lavenders, blues and pinks, is from the artist’s Mask Series. The painting depicts a privileged ingénue at an informal moment, perhaps making up before an unseen mirror. She holds up for consideration, and is about to put on, a mask of her own sophisticated mother, who looks at first like an ultra-confident society hostess. But the amalgamation of her mother’s identity will not make possible easy entrance into her mother’s coterie; in the cheerful expression of the mask’s face there is a hint of a grimace, which makes the young girl’s social aspiration pathetic and misguided. 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.

Conjoined as bodies, they form a powerful dyad of selves expressing triumph rather than mere forbearance. Their thoughts and feelings, brilliant flashes of light lavender and yellow above and between their heads, are like insights and interpersonal connections illuminating the darkness.
