Jo Baer

1929–2025 · American

Jo Baer became a key Minimalist painter in the 1960s through white canvases edged with narrow bands of color and black. In the 1970s she rejected the limitations of orthodox Minimalism and developed a hybrid figurative language drawing from archaeology, landscape and myth.
