Ian David Baker – François 1979

Ian David Baker — François, 1979

Silver Gelatin Print
32 × 20.3 cm

An intimate portrait of François seated on a patterned sofa, caught in the act of pulling off his sweater. The casual gesture, direct nudity, and domestic setting give the photograph the immediacy of a private moment rather than a formally constructed portrait. Its unusually light tonal range lends the image a soft, almost ephemeral quality.

Print note: This impression is notably light in tonality. It was acquired directly as a finished print by the artist.
