Burton Kramer
Summer Sun 42/50 - bright, geometric pattern, silkscreen and acrylic print

1997

About the Item

Precise rectangular and square lines and shapes in tints of yellow, green, turquoise and mauve, are an interpretation of the brilliant summer sun in this silkscreen print on paper by Burton Kramer. This work is number 42 in an edition of 50. Kramer's precise 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." Kramer explores the synesthesia of color and music not unlike 20th century European painter Wassily Kandinsky for whom "Tone = Timbre; Hue = Pitch; Saturation = Volume." 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. He gained international success with a number of group and solo exhibitions in North America and Europe. He is one of Canada's most influential graphic designers. Notably, Kramer designed the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation logo in 1974. In 1999, Kramer received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Arts Ontario and in 2002 was awarded The Order of Ontario by the Province and an Honorary Doctorate from Ontario College of Art & Design. His work is in many private and public collections including the Royal Ontario Museum.
