Sigrid Burton is an American visual artist, known for semi-abstract paintings that combine atmospheric color fields and allusions to nature and culture. [1] [2] [3] Her work bears a wide range of influences, including Buddhist cave and Indian miniature paintings, Jain cosmological diagrams, and artists from the Renaissance to modernists such as Kandinsky, Klee and the Color field painters to the California Light and Space movement. [4] Critics have noted the predominance of color over form in her work, sometimes describing her approach as "chromatic expressionism." [5] [6]

Contents

Burton has had exhibitions at venues including Artists Space, A.I.R. Gallery, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Carnegie Art Museum, Oxnard, and the Michael C. Rockefeller Arts Center. [7] [8] [9] Her work belongs to the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, [10] Rockefeller Foundation and Palm Springs Desert Museum, among others. [2] [11] After being based in New York City, Burton has lived and worked in Pasadena, California since 2013. [4]

Life and career

Burton was born in Pasadena, California to Gene and Betye (Monell) Burton, who were both art patrons. [5] [12] She attended Westridge School for Girls (1963–9), where she participated in Allan Kaprow's Fluids (1967) and studied with performance artist Barbara T. Smith, assisting on her well-known performance, Ritual Meal (1969). [13] [14] After enrolling at University of California, Berkeley, Burton completed a BA degree (1973) at Bennington College in Vermont, studying with Pat Adams, Carol Haerer and Sidney Tillim. [15] [13]

After graduating, she moved to New York City to work as a studio assistant to painter Helen Frankenthaler, and subsequently, Jules Olitski; she assisted Frankenthaler on the painted-tile series Thanksgiving Day (1973), exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum. [16] [17] [4] In her first two decades, Burton had solo exhibitions at Artists Space (1976) and Salander O'Reilly (1980) in New York, Martha White (Louisville, 1982–4), Ivory Kimpton (San Francisco, 1984–7), Patricia Hamilton Gallery (New York and Santa Monica, 1986–90) and Hokin Kaufman (Chicago, 1987–90), among others. [11] In 1994, she was awarded an Indo-American Senior Research Fellowship from the Fulbright Program to study the meaning and use of color in traditional Indian art and ritual forms. [4] [18] [11] She followed with postgraduate work in South Asian studies at Columbia University in New York City (1996–9). [8] [19]

In addition to her art career, Burton has taught for and served on the board of directors of LEAP (Learning through an Expanded Arts Program) in the New York City school system, volunteered and wrote a manual for AIDS service organizations, and served on the Manhattan Community Board 2 and board of trustees for the Westridge School. [20] [18] [21]

Work

While largely abstract, Burton's work has consistently referenced natural phenomena such as light and landscape, while drawing upon influences from Western painting and Indian art, as well as travel. [22] [4] [11] [14] Color has been a foundation of her approach, with Kandinsky's conception of the transcendent power of abstract art being an early influence, later augmented by studies of Indian aesthetic theories. [4] [23] [19] Writers have also related her work to such artists as J. M. W. Turner, Odilon Redon, Pierre Bonnard and Mark Rothko. [13] [5] [24] She draws literally and figuratively from the natural world of botanical, biological and weather phenomena, the structures of macro and micro cosmologies, and systems such as writing. [13] [25] [11] [22] William C. Agee wrote, "these references reveal themselves slowly, giving her art a sense of duration, a sense of a long journey through space, time, and memory" as if "moving between worlds, cultures, and centuries" or states of creation and dissolution.

Early Painting (1973–1995)

Burton's acrylic paintings of the early 1970s were characterized by broad swaths and pools of abstract color, which were indebted to Color field painting and traditions tracing back to Matisse, Impressionism and Titian. [13] [5] Later in the decade, she looked to artists such as Lois Lane and Terry Winters, who merged abstraction with direct or referential imagery. [13] This resulted in three significant shifts: to oil paint, for its greater textural and chromatic qualities; to working upright with brushes and stretched canvasses for greater control (rather than pouring paint on canvases on the floor); and to drawing that broadly referenced recognizable, more personal content. [13] [5] Critics such as the Chicago Tribune's Alan Artner noted the new work for its lyricism, varied color evoking California settings, and for linear, gestural elements and passages of thick paint, which departed from prior color-field influences such as Helen Frankenthaler. [26] [27]

After an art residency at the Bellagio Study Center in Italy in 1985, Burton began experimenting with painted borders and frames within the picture plane, as well as with abstracted biomorphic elements, color, and light derived from observed nature and landscape studies. [1] These new oils employed increased figuration, vigorous brushwork, high-key palettes and multi-colored borders that conveyed a sense of ambiguity and unreality. [1] Arts Magazine critic Tony Towle likened their richness to pastels, describing works like the diptych Notes from an Italian Journal (for Gene and Betye) (1985–6) as "mysteriously semi-abstract [and] tranquil, dreamlike landscapes that felt primeval yet lacked menace.” [1] Burton worked in this semi-abstract fashion into the 1990s, often alluding to sites and objects from her travels.

Mature Painting (1995– )

After an extended stay in India in 1995, Burton responded to a period of personal loss and the AIDS crisis with darker, brooding works. [13] These paintings (e.g., The Waters of March, 1999) were more rooted to everyday experience and memory, with natural and multicultural allusions that appeared and dispersed amid hazy, color-saturated surfaces frequently in red and deep crimson hues. [6] [5] They often employed implicit grids and loosely constructed, imagined or canonical Indian color systems as a starting point [4] —an approach critics described as intentional yet ambiguous, [13] with a "calculated inexactitude" that obscured distinctions between figure and ground, plant and animal. [6] Peter Frank observed, "form asserts itself in the midst of her luminous, translucent clouds of color, giving unanticipated backbone to otherwise invertebrate masses of hue and tone"; [6] William Agee compared the fusion of pictorial contrasts—expansive atmospheric spaces, passages of drawing and quotidian allusions—to that of Matisse. [13]

In 2001, Merck & Company commissioned Burton to create a suite of site-specific paintings for the concourse of its global headquarters in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey; it was her first permanent environment of works in direct dialogue with one another. [5] [23] Throughout the 2000s, Burton continued to work in modulated monochrome fields with sparse organic forms, blurring the line between image and pure abstraction. [25] [2] In a 2005 review, Peter Frank wrote, Burton's "canvasses enfold the eye in baths of light and color," depicting "some half-remembered, half-imagined experience, a dream so aqueous, it might have been dreamt in the womb.” [2]

In the 2010s, Burton's paintings were increasingly informed by her own astronomical observations at observatories in Pasadena and Chile, alongside longstanding natural, calligraphic, Hindu and Jain motifs. [28] [29] [30] These paintings were more abstract than previous work, with greater depth of field and dense layering; reviews noted an acrobatic visual play between mysterious color fields and loose, unfettered marks, which suggested responses to natural phenomena and personal experience rather than representations (e.g., Asterisms and Storm Heart, both 2019). [24] [3] [30] In a 2020 exhibition (Tufenkian Gallery) review, critic and curator Michael Duncan described Burton as part of a neglected underground of colorists using "color as a vehicle to the ineffable" and exploring "paint's ideal potential in an unapologetic pursuit of the sublime," [30]

Works on paper

While best known for painting, Burton has created mixed-media pencil, pastel, oil stick and collage works on paper throughout her career, which recall Kurt Schwitters and Paul Klee. [31] [32] [33] In her later works on paper, such as Maroc (2013–6), she repurposed old drawings and accumulated ephemera from travels and the scrapbooks of her grandparents, collaging intentionally but cryptically biographical or autobiographical material. [4] [34] These later drawings explored a deeper sense of space and figure-ground ambiguity that crossed over to her paintings. [4]

Collections and awards

Burton's work is included in corporate, private and public collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, [10] Rockefeller Foundation, John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, [35] Palm Springs Desert Museum, Mullin Automotive Museum, [36] Bucknell University, and Lewis and Clark College, among others. [8] She has received commissions from Merck & Company (2001), Georgetown Plaza, New York (1990), and the Glick Organization (1986). [8] [11] [37] Her work has also been used for covers for the poetry books, Sex Education (by Janice Moore Fuller) and The Poetry Project, [38] [31] and appeared in The New York Times, [39] [40] Architectural Digest, [41] [42] Interior Design [43] and House Beautiful. [44] [45]

Burton has been recognized with a Fulbright Indo-American Senior Research Fellowship (1994-1995), a Rockefeller Foundation Arts Residency at the Bellagio Study Center in Italy (1985), and a Rosenthal Family Foundation Award through the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1977). [8] [11] She has been a visiting artist at Delhi College of Art, the Chautauqua Institution, and Virginia Tech. [23] [18] In 2019, Westridge School recognized her with its Mary Lowther Ranney Distinguished Alumna Award. [20] [18]

Frankenthaler began exhibiting her large-scale abstract expressionist paintings in contemporary museums and galleries in the early 1950s. She was included in the 1964 Post-Painterly Abstraction exhibition curated by Clement Greenberg that introduced a newer generation of abstract painting that came to be known as color field. Born in Manhattan, she was influenced by Greenberg, Hans Hofmann, and Jackson Pollock's paintings. Her work has been the subject of several retrospective exhibitions, including a 1989 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and been exhibited worldwide since the 1950s.

Although there was much cross-pollination between their two styles, the relationship somewhat overshadowed her contribution for some time. Krasner's training, influenced by George Bridgman and Hans Hofmann, was the more formalized, especially in the depiction of human anatomy, and this enriched Pollock's more intuitive and unstructured output.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Color field</span> Art movement

Color field painting is a style of abstract painting that emerged in New York City during the 1940s and 1950s. It was inspired by European modernism and closely related to abstract expressionism, while many of its notable early proponents were among the pioneering abstract expressionists. Color field is characterized primarily by large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane. The movement places less emphasis on gesture, brushstrokes and action in favor of an overall consistency of form and process. In color field painting "color is freed from objective context and becomes the subject in itself."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hans Hofmann</span> German-American painter (1880–1966)

Hans Hofmann was a German-born American painter, renowned as both an artist and teacher. His career spanned two generations and two continents, and is considered to have both preceded and influenced Abstract Expressionism. Born and educated near Munich, he was active in the early twentieth-century European avant-garde and brought a deep understanding and synthesis of Symbolism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism when he emigrated to the United States in 1932. Hofmann's painting is characterized by its rigorous concern with pictorial structure and unity, spatial illusionism, and use of bold color for expressive means. The influential critic Clement Greenberg considered Hofmann's first New York solo show at Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of This Century in 1944 as a breakthrough in painterly versus geometric abstraction that heralded abstract expressionism. In the decade that followed, Hofmann's recognition grew through numerous exhibitions, notably at the Kootz Gallery, culminating in major retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art (1957) and Museum of Modern Art (1963), which traveled to venues throughout the United States, South America, and Europe. His works are in the permanent collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, National Gallery of Art, and Art Institute of Chicago.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dona Nelson</span> American painter (born 1947)

Dona Nelson is an American painter, best known for immersive, gestural, primarily abstract works employing unorthodox materials, processes and formats to disrupt conventional notions of painting and viewership. A 2014 New Yorker review observed, "Nelson gives notice that she will do anything, short of burning down her house to bully painting into freshly spluttering eloquence." Since 2002, long before it became a more common practice, Nelson has produced free-standing, double-sided paintings that create a more complex, conscious viewing experience. According to New York Times critic Roberta Smith, Nelson has dodged the burden of a "superficially consistent style," sustained by "an adventuresome emphasis on materials" and an athletic approach to process that builds on the work of Jackson Pollock. Writers in Art in America and Artforum credit her experimentation with influencing a younger generation of painters exploring unconventional techniques with renewed interest. Discussing one of Nelson's visceral, process-driven works, curator Klaus Kertess wrote, the paint-soaked "muslin is at once the tool, the medium, and the made."

Sigrid Sandström is a Swedish artist and a professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. Her work is characterized by graphic abstraction, an embrace of color and difference in scale, and an array of techniques used to apply paint and other materials to canvas, ranging from cloths and rugs, to masking with tape, squeegee-ing and smearing, and collaging. She has also worked in film and video, most notably for her 2005 exhibition Her Black Flags at the Mills College Art Museum in Oakland, CA, and in sculpture and installation. Artforum critic Naomi Fry, reviewing a 2007 show at Edward Thorp Gallery, cited the artist's interest in landscape as subject and noted that Sandström "also grapples here with painting’s essential difficulty in the face of the sublime. As the works consistently teeter on the verge of abstraction, the interplay between a more traditional naturalism and geometric fragmentation provides a salient tension."

Charlotte Park, also known as Charlotte Park Brooks (1918–2010) was an American abstract painter. She began work as a professional artist soon after the close of World War II, working in studios first in Manhattan and then in eastern Long Island. She was associated with and drew both support and inspiration from her husband James Brooks and other first-generation abstract expressionist artists, including particularly her neighbors, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner. During most of her career she neither sought nor received praise from critics and collectors, but late in life was celebrated for the quality of her artistic achievements and had her work shown in prestigious solo and group exhibitions. At the end of her life a critic said, "Hers was a major gift all but stifled by a happily embraced domesticity and by the critical bullying of a brutally doctrinaire art world."

Jackie Saccoccio was an American abstract painter. Her works, considered examples of gestural abstraction, featured bright color, large canvases, and deliberately introduced randomness.
