John Baker
"Flute Player", contemporary, portrait, orange, green, collage, acrylic painting

2020

About the Item

John Baker’s “Flute Player” is a contemporary acrylic painting on canvas with collage. The portrait is 20 x 16 x 1.5 inches in flesh tones, oranges, greens and browns. The detail and expression of the player’s eyes give a sense of his intense involvement and absorption in his music making, while the variously colored greens of his long hair show that he is of the fields and forests. 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.
