乔·贝尔是二十世纪六十年代少数几个能在男性主导的纽约艺术舞台上脱颖而出的女性之一。贝尔在1953-60年在洛杉矶上艺术课之前学习了生物学和感知心理学。尽管极少派艺术家强烈反对绘画作为一种相关的艺术形式，但贝尔为绘画在“极少艺术”背景下的重要性进行了辩护。乔·贝尔断言绘画是物体，并且发展了一种反幻觉风格，这使她的画具有了强大的物理存在。H.Arcuata（一种兰花的植物学名称）是一组照片之一，可追溯到1970年左右，原本打算低垂，从多个角度观察。只有当个别区域以及它们在图片两侧的发展方式被调查时，作品才能被访问。乔·贝尔认为她的照片有助于讨论“该主题的主权以及有关自决性质的相关问题”（J.B.）。

Jo Baer was one of the few women able to make her way on the male-dominated New York art scene in the 1960s. Baer studied biology and perceptual psychology before doing an art course in Los Angeles from 1953-60. Baer defended the importance of pictures in the context of Minimal Art, though the Minimal artists campaigned vehemently against painting as a relevant art form. By asserting that a painting is an object, and developing an anti-illusionistic style, Jo Baer gave her pictures a powerful physical presence. H. Arcuata (the botanical name for a kind of orchid) is one of a group of pictures dating from around 1970 that were intended to be hung low and viewed from a number of angles. The works become accessible only when the individual areas and the way they develop over the sides of the picture are investigated. Jo Baer felt her pictures contributed to the discussion on the sovereignty of the subject and associated questions about the nature of self-determination(J.B.).
