About the Item

In musical terms, a capriccio is a short, lively, free-form piece of music. Modernist Burton Kramer’s Capriccio 2 envisions shapes and colours inspired by beautiful music. In this way Kramer’s work is much like the 20th century European painter Wassily Kandinsky who was renowned for his experiments with colour and music. “My paintings reference dancing feet, jazz, bebop, swing, baroque and folk music, Mozart and multi-layered, complex Haitian drumming. Composition, which is geometry based, provides a structure for the use of colour; the colour adds the actual sounds.” Burton Kramer Kramer trained at Yale University (MFA), The Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology (BSc), The Royal College of Art, London (Fulbright Scholar) and The State University of New York. Kramer has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Arts Ontario, The Order of Ontario by the Province, an Honorary Doctorate from Ontario College of Art & Design and named Member of the Order of Canada. He is one of Canada's most influential and gifted graphic designers. He designed the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation logo in 1974. His work is held in many private and public collections.
