His subjects have been almost exclusively isolated roadside diners and eateries. That an artist can concentrate so masterfully on one theme enticed Abrahms to publish "Diners by John Baeder" in 1978. Baeder is one of the best known of the Photorealists. His popular paintings and prints of roadside diners so capture the pulse of America that his images have entered the secondary market as reproductions on posters, calendars, and postcards (here the energy comes full circle, as old postcards were an important source of inspiration for the paintings). Baeder began his professional career as an art director. He worked first in Atlanta, from 1960-64, with a branch of a New York ad agency. Then he moved to New York City. During his years as an art director, Baeder kept his technical artistic abilities honed through drawing, painting, and photography; this was especially important as part of a process leading up to Photorealism. The many aspects of art directing, including marketing, merchandising, promotions, and public relations, kept his vision focused on American material culture. The diners and their settings document regional tastes and mores, the richness and variety of our expansive culture and society, our mobility and the personal freedoms that draw so many to our shores. In this, Baeder belongs to the tradition of nineteenth- and twentieth- century realist and regionalist painters and pictorial journalists, who explored with contagious humanity the character of ordinary Americans as they imprinted themselves upon the American landscape. And, as America homogenizes under the sign of the Golden Arches, the paintings are a potent reminder of the fast-disappearing character and diversity of American culture.
