"The past decade has witnessed a small boom in art inspired by the printed book, a choice of subject fueled by affection and nostalgia. An exhibition at San Francisco&amp;#039;s Gregory Lind Gallery illustrates how two New York-based artists have approached the same material in radically different ways. Richard Baker makes still lifes of the kinds of books he grew up reading\u2014paperbacks from the 1960s and &amp;#039;70s by such counterculture icons as Jack Kerouac and Gertrude Stein\u2014painted in lovely colors with dog-ears and stains intact. Tom Burckhardt paints on books, layering existing covers with abstract shapes and figures that evoke classic Japanese prints.  Richard Baker and Tom Burckhardt, Gregory Lind Gallery; through February 26; gregorylindgallery.com.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
