About the Item
John Baker’s “Down he Goes IV,” an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 20 x 16 inches in yellow and red ochres with blacks and greys, is from the artist’s “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. Now in the late stages of decline, the figure in “Down he Goes IV” has been reduced to a deeply divided self whose personality is dominated by paranoid suspicion. Reminiscent of Gericault’s portraits of the insane, the power of the image elevates the painting to a level far above mere clinical description. 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.
