Person with Guitar (Yellow)
A striking example of John Baldessari's signature conceptual approach, *Person with Guitar (Yellow)* combines fragmented photographic imagery with bold color to explore themes of identity, representation, and popular culture. The work features a figure partially obscured or cropped, consistent with Baldessari's practice of challenging conventional modes of seeing and narrative. The multi-layered screenprint construction on Rives BFK paper, mounted to Sintra and housed in a black wood frame specified by the artist, underscores the deliberate and precise nature of the work's presentation as an integral part of its meaning.
