BILL BAKER (Born 1961) PASTEL ON PAPER
Est: $400 - $500
Bill Baker (Born 1961) Waiting Late 20th/Early 21st Century The composition/portrait of an indigenous mother and daughter from the Tarahumara tribe at Holy Week celebration around Easter is best understood by the following excerpt from an article that appeared in the January 2018 issue of Southwest Art magazine: 'The men would dance in the church plaza, their legs and torsos decorated with dots of white paint, their heads adorned with cloth headbands topped with crowns of feathers. The Tarahumara women presented their own quieter spectacle. Arriving to observe the men and mind the children, they marched across a rustic bridge to the plaza, wearing voluminous skirts, shawls, and headscarves dyed in the brightest of colors and joyous patterns.' This work is published with that article and signed lower right front. Sheet measures 23.5 x 16.5 with a framed size of 31.25 x 23.75 inches.

AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US Bill Baker (New Mexico, born 1961) Baker discovered his love for creating art while working as a carpenter in New York City. Frequent visits to the cityвЂ™s great museums eventually inspired him to enroll in art classes at Duchess County Community College in Poughkeepsie. After a year of study, Baker left New York, deciding that travel and the experiences gained would be far more rewarding than a formal art education. Accompanied by his camera and sketchbooks, he began a quest to experience firsthand the worldвЂ™s indigenous people and to record their cultures and traditions in exquisite and poignant pastel works of art. Over the past 32 years, Baker has traveled to over 50 countries and has spent significant time in remote villages all over the globe, living and getting to know these primitive people and their ways. He has photographed and painted native cultures from South America, India, Tibet, Mongolia and Africa, but itвЂ™s his paintings of Northern MexicoвЂ™s Tarahumara Indians that has brought him national and global acclaim. ItвЂ™s important to note that many places that once were so difficult to get to are now easily accessed by paved roads and highways, as the world has changed dramatically over the past three decades. Baker is all too aware that heвЂ™s in a race against time to capture these native people and places before theyвЂ™re gone forever. BakerвЂ™s beautiful renditions have become historical documentations of cultures others will never experience. Noted for his large scale paintings, his mosaic technique, his magisterial use of light and shadow, his fearless use of color, and his laser sharp attention to detail is both powerful and masterful. Every thread of fabric in the bill2traditional clothing worn by itвЂ™s subjects, every strand of embroidery, is recorded as if each is intricately connected to the person and their story. BakerвЂ™s paintings capture the authentic rhythms of these peoples daily lives as they exist in perfect harmony with their native surroundings вЂ“ each moment, each detail perfectly rendered and vibrating with emotion and life. Baker is the recipient of countless awards. His work has been profiled in various publications and inducted into public and private collections across the globe. He is a permanent featured exhibitor at Acosta Strong Gallery in Santa Fe, NM and Michael McCormick Gallery in Taos. Two of his larger pieces are part of the permanent collection at the Albuquerque International Airport.
