About the Item
John Baker’s “Being and Time: an Imaginary Portrait of Martin Heidegger” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 28 x 22 inches in green, greys and silver, with maroon highlights. The painting is a visual riff on Heidegger’s famous book, “Being and Time.” The philosopher shows his wristwatch to the spectator; it radiates with the significance it holds in his theories: as an intrinsic and central framework of the human experience of being, while the sneer on his face radiates haughty self-certainty. The painting is signed and dated on the reverse and the sides are unpainted.
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.
