BACKGROUND:
Burkhardt represented the most significant bridge between New York and Los Angeles in that his paintings of the 1930s are part of the genesis of American abstract expressionism. Burkhardt's ability to evoke compelling works of human empathy has led several of today's preeminent art historians and critics to regard many of his paintings to be among the major works of our time.
Hans Burkhardt is an artist whose other original paintings can be found in more than 50 major collections. Being one of the finest he ever created, this painting should prove to be a fine addition to any discerning art. ADD THIS WORK TO YOUR COLLECTION TODAY!
