The History of Provincetown

Susan Baker's paintings are exquisite time capsules that document an era of art and hilarity in Provincetown. These interiors and landscapes - moody, whimsical, searing - have the intimate scale of still-life portraits and personal histories about a beguiling and renowned fringe society of famous artists, authors and spectacular nobodies. In these wholly original paintings, Baker shows us the wondrous connections people have to a place called "land's end." Throughout these gorgeous pages she has created a masterpiece of wit and poignancy. - Maria Flook, author of My Sister Life

Provincetown Dogs

Susan Baker has long been identified with dogs and dog paintings. In this short book, she captures the essence of fourteen of her own and other local dogs in witty and evocative drawings and short commentaries. The distinctive character and prominent behavior of each dog is lovingly elicited in these bold and winsome paintings. With great appeal for all lovers of dogs, Provincetown, and Baker's art, this colorful tribute to Zoomer, Buster, Dogette, Johnny Low-Down, Stogie, Fatso, Skinny, and the others is captivating

Following Proust

Provincetown artist Susan Baker dramatically shifts her venue to follow and visually reproduce the trail of Marcel Proust through the areas of France that he lived in, loved, and made the site of the major segments of Remembrance of Things Past. In areas well known to generations of readers through that great novel -- for example, Combray, Balbec, and Guermantes, as well as the home of Monsieur Swann -- and also the areas in which Proust lived and vacationed such as Trouville, Deauville, Rouen, Amiens, and Illiers, not to mention Paris, Baker brilliantly captures the ambiance, buildings, and cathedrals that mark the beauty and the uniqueness of these locations. "Drawn in initially by the humor, then dazzled by the description, and finally obsessed by the genius, I decided to follow Proust -- just to stand where he stood," writes Baker. The colorful outcome of her quest is this rare gift to the world's legions of Francophiles, Proustians, art lovers, and travelers.
