John Baldessari is a conceptual artist who has influence many other great artists, such as: Cindy Sherman, David Salle, and Barbara Kruger among others.
His work consists of synthesizing photomontage, painting, and language into visual juxtapositions that challenge ‘conceptual art’ meaning with wit and irony.
He upends commonly held expectations of how images function, explores it in sometimes delightful, sometimes poignant and almost always surprising and inventive ways by injecting humor and dissonance into his vernacular imagery.
