About the Item

Nicely painted mid century abstract geometric cubist framed and signed oil painting by Burton Wasserman (1929 - 2017). Great color and composition. Framed. Signed. Artist Bio: Burton Wasserman was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1929. He studied painting with Ad Reinhart and Burgoyne Diller at Brooklyn College, graduating in 1950. He formed strong friendships with both of these artists and developed a life-long passion for abstract art. Whilst pursuing a career as an art professor, writer, and critic, Wasserman has continued actively to produce paintings, prints and sculpture. In his work of the 1960s the influence of the DeStijl movement, and consequently that of Reinhardt and Diller, is most strongly felt - simple geometric shapes, the use of only primary colours, and images reduced to a bare minimum. Through the years Wasserman's work has subtly evolved, always remaining abstract, at times moving into a more painterly approach, and at other times more geometrical but with a wider range of colours. Wasserman’s work has appeared in more than forty solo exhibitions over the years. He has authored five books and hundreds of magazine articles about artists and their works. His art criticism and commentary appear regularly in Prime Time Arts and Entertainment and the monthly Delaware Valley journal Art Matters. He has exhibited widely, and his work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art; New Jersey State Museum, Trenton; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart; and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, amongst others. In 2004, he retired as Professor of Art from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, where he taught courses in printmaking, painting, design, art education, modern art and art appreciation over a 44-year career. Active as a board member of numerous local and national art associations. “My work is essentially metaphorical,” says Wasserman, “Each painting is a picture of itself. Each is the accumulation of a half century of inquiry, impulses, feelings and observation coming out of layers of experiences gathered over time.”
