Who was he?
John Baldessari was born July 17, 1931, in National City, California. He became a central figure in the growth of Los Angeles as a major art centre. Initially he worked with what has been called the “phototext canvas,” words painted on a canvas. His interest in language-based art led him to create a great variety of works, all in some combination of words, still images, and video. John takes wrong picture for example the picture on the right. This image shows that John used the exposure triangle in the wrong way, in this image you cant see the man as he is camouflaged into the tree and the image is also very dark
