The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego currently showcases “John Baldessari: A Print Retrospective from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.” Baldessari, a native of National City, uses primary colors in place of well-known objects. In “Person with Guitar (Red),” a solid, fire-engine red guitar shape substitutes the actual guitar. And in his other works, solid shapes block out or replace people's faces and body parts. Stephanie Bailey, who viewed the collection, said, “I like Baldessari because he has a sense of humor.”
