John Anthony Baldessari works in Santa Monica & Venice, CA. He was born June 17, 1931 and is an American conceptual artist and is known for his his work in photography and appropriated images.
John Baldessari began as a painter but began to incorporate texts and photography into his canvases in the mid-1960s. In the 1970's he decided to being working on printmaking, film, video, installation, sculpture and photography. His art has been featured in more than 200 solo exhibitions in the U.S.and Europe.
My Opinion on his work:
I personally think that his style of art because it has a lot of colour but also in some still has the original photo. Some of his work has his models faces have a colour dot over it, i really like these shots because the dots are so simple and small, yet they could have a large meaning behind them, its gives a sense of anonymity and it makes the audience question who that might be.
