Pleasant Journeys and Good Eats along the Way: The Paintings of John Baeder

Jay Williams, ed. Preface by Kevin Grogan; introduction by Donald Kuspit.

Pleasant Journeys and Good Eats along the Way surveys John Baeder's thirty-five-year obsession with roadside architecture, especially America's diners, and complements Baeder's retrospective exhibition at the Morris Museum of Art. Originally attracted to classic postcard images of mom-and-pop businesses and old black-and-white photos of downtowns, Baeder has spent most of his art career depicting these beloved but unpretentious restaurants.
