About the Item

This contemporary colorful graphic print is by Burton Kramer. Edition 5 of 15 comes matted and framed with Artglass. Celebrated as one of Canada’s uniquely brilliant artists, modernist Burton Kramer’s work is often inspired by his love of music. Kramer uses both geometric forms—in this case, pentagrams and color to visualize the joyful language of music. Rendered in deep blue, hot pink, and orange, the five-sided star shapes overlap one another and pop against a bright white background. As always with Kramer’s inspired work, there is a dynamic movement that appears to have a rhythm of its own. Edition five of fifteen. “To fully experience music, one needs a receptive ear. To fully experience these paintings the viewer needs to taste the color, hear, and feel the rhythms, the mood, the music.” Burton Kramer “During his process, he draws the initial studies on paper, masks the canvas with tape, and then paints elaborate, geometric forms with acrylics in the masked areas. At the first glance, it looks like a digital print, but when you get close to it, you will be astonished by the elaborate implementation of these colorful surfaces.” Excerpt from: The Moderns: Mid-century American Graphic Design by Steven Heller and Greg D’Onofrio Abrams 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 named Member of the Order of Canada. His work has been exhibited in galleries internationally and is held in many private and public collections including The Royal Ontario Museum.
