His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, The New York Public Library and private collections of Stephen King, Zak Norman, Robert Bloch, and Ronald Dahl. Artists Statement: "I am a painter, illustrator, and cartoonist. City life has always played a significant role in my work. Recently I did a series of collages, based on the theme of transit, exhibited at the New York Transit Museum. The series started when I began to sketch daily commuters in New York’s Penn Station. I incorporated a variety of media: cut newspaper and colored tissue, charcoal drawing, and painting with gouache. The resulting work reflects my interpretation of individuals and crowds moving through the public transit system. He created a new series of collages that depict a variety of above-ground urban scenes.”

By Walter Burt Adams

Located in Chicago, IL

A Striking Mid-Century Modern Portrait of a Young Woman by Notable Chicago Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). A well executed figurative work by the artist, depicting a young woman stylishly dressed in a black sleeveless top seated in a muted studio interior. The painting exemplifies the artist's adept and practiced skill at portraiture, and was likely completed at the artist's studio in Evanston, Illinois. Artwork size: 24 x 20 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with the original painted Mid-Century frame (framed size: 27 3/4 x 23 3/4 inches). Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...
