Burton Kramer
Purple Rose Song - colourful, geometric abstraction, modernist, acrylic on panel

2019

About the Item

Precisely painted orthogonal shapes in tints of turquoise, green, violet and indigo are composed in dynamic balance by Burton Kramer. The apt title of this acrylic on panel reveals the artist's interest in the language of music interpreted through color and form. Kramer has observed that his lyrical abstractions "do not abstract the experience of reality, as we know it. They provide the viewer with an alternate for reality, just as music often does." Like 20th century European painter Wassily Kandinsky, renowned for his experiments with synesthesia of color and music, Burton Kramer (b. 1932, ON) explores the language of visual forms and sound. The artist 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 is one of Canada's most influential graphic designers. He designed the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation logo in 1974. 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. His work is in many private and public collections including the Royal Ontario Museum.
