Title:JACK BAKER Malta? Portside Cityscape with Fishing Boats Original oil painting

Description:JACK BAKER (1925-2011). This piece appears to be Malta? but we are not 100% sure since the artist painted in many far off lands. Portside Cityscape with Figures and Buildings with fishing boats, 36" x 48" oil on canvas (framed size: 39" x 50") signed lower right: Jack Baker. The frame width is approximately 2-1/2". Condition: Has some very light hardly noticeable small light stabilized mildew spots on the back of the canvas, a few frame nicks, the white showing at the bottom of the water appears natural to the piece. Because this is an overly large piece freight is $450.00 to the U.S. 48 states only. If you live in the Los Angeles area and can meet me or pick up the painting, you can save the freight.
Jack Baker was born in 1925 in Wichita Falls,Texas. In many of his paintings, the artist uses strong linear architectural elements in contrast with native flora.
Growing up in California, Jack Baker received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College and his Master of Fine Arts degree from Scripps College in Claremont. He also attended the University of Southern California, the Academie Julien in Paris and the University of Mexico. He painted with Milford Zornes and Millard Sheets.
In 1955, Baker went to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to teach at the Government Technical School and was soon named the director of the Emperor Haile Selassie's Academy of Art. He later painted a portrait of Haile Selassie. In Ethiopa is where he began painting the indigenous flora and fauna and the fascination with the exotic brought him to other African countries, among them Zanzibar and Kenya. Further travels include India, Russia, Malta and England. In England, he was equally attracted by the hedgerows and pastures of the English countryside.
His work has been exhibited around the world, from Bombay to London and California.
His paintings are in the permanent collections of the Phoenix Art Museum, Davenport Museum, Joslyn Art Museum, El Paso Museum of Art, and others.
