Allan
Baker born in 1921 in Murwillumba, NSW, has made a significant contribution
to the Western Australian artistic community since his arrival in Perth in
1949,
both as an artist and as Deputy Director of the Art Gallery of Western Australia
and
the founding Curator of Pictures and Works of Art at the University of Western
Australia.
A student of the National Gallery School, Melbourne, in the post war years,
his early
commitment to a socially engaged role for art has formed the core of his artistic
life.
Su Baker is currently Associate Professor, Head of The School of Art,
at the Victorian College of the Arts, the contemporary manifestation
of the National Gallery School.
Allan Baker's major works include studies of people and places from his travels
in the Northwest in WA, Europe and Greece.
Su Baker has inherited her father's interest in portraiture as part of her
working process.
Her portrait of Noel Counihan, friend and mentor of her father was hung in
the
1981 Archibald Prize and her entry entitled Self-Portrait at 6 Paces, won
the Portia Geach
Memorial Prize in 1997.
Over the developing years of her career self-portraiture was a constant theme.
While generational influences have changed the forms of representation,
inherent in this exhibition are the synergies and visual empathy in the
work and life of father and daughter.
I
would like to see things change - and all of us live quietly together and
bring no harm to each other.
I would like us all to live quietly in friendship, black and white and other
races.
I'd also like to see an end to greed. It causes such trouble in the world."
