About the Book
Richard Baker’s drawings are of High Modernist furniture, pale reflections of which we experience as that ubiquitous sea of ‘modern’ style which encompasses molded plastic stacking chairs alongside sharp edged, clean lined tables and desks, all designed to be situated within ‘sort-of’ modernist building spaces. At first sight it would appear that we are being treated to a comment on the failure of Modernism, or a reflection on the aesthetics of high Modernism and the moment of its passing. Most of these drawings isolate the image, allowing the viewer to reflect on the formal quality of the furniture’s design geometry and the play of light through shadows and reflections that inevitably accompany the original photographic presentation of these ‘studio’ objects.
