This Hoosier impressionist represented the Richmond, Indiana group of painters. He studied at the Cincinnati Art Association and one of his teachers was John Elmwood Bundy (1853-1933), who became a close friend. Like many plein-air painters, Baker sought to capture the local Spirit of Place during contrasting seasons of the year. In 1919, his painting In Centerville was exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists' show in New York. A year later Baker enjoyed a one-man show where Evergreens was on view. This vivid winter scene is in the Art Association of Richmond. Baker also exhibited at the Hoosier Salon between 1925 and 1932. He won prizes in Muncie, Indiana in 1910, and others in Richmond: in 1910, 1915, 1930, then another at the Hoosier Salon in 1925 and yet another at the Indiana State Fair in 1930. |
