About the Item

This modern geometric painting by Burton Kramer was inspired by music. Modernist Burton Kramer has an international reputation as a masterful graphic designer and artist. His paintings reference music and express lyrical, geometric abstraction in colourful shapes of various sizes. His process usually involves sketching on paper, masking sections on canvas and then painting those sections with acrylics in different shapes. The result is a composition that has a dynamic rhythm to it…much like musical notes. This piece displays a series of rows of bars that play out across the canvas in black, yellow, burgundy, bright blue, green, pink, aubergine, and orange against a slate-gray backdrop. “The paintings do not 'abstract' the experience of reality, as we know it. They provide the viewer with an alternate form of reality, just as music often does.” Burton Kramer Burton Kramer was born in New York City in 1932. He is renowned for designing the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation logo in 1974. 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 was named a Member of the Order of Canada. His work has been exhibited in galleries internationally and is held in many private and public collections.
