About the Item
John Baker’s “Eating and Drinking II” is an acrylic painting on canvas with collage 24 x 30 inches in yellows, reds and greens on a neutral background. In one sense an illustration of the well-known maxim “you are what you eat”, the abundance and bounty implied by the profusion of the still life elements almost but not completely hides the figure at the left, who is about to chomp on a small fruit as she reaches for a piece of apple with her left hand. It is easy to imagine that she does not need this more-than-hearty repast; as a result the image suggests that eating can be for more than nourishment. The painting is housed in a carved gilt frame and 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.
