A Striking Modern Studio Portrait of a Seated African American Male Model
By Walter Burt Adams
Located in Chicago, IL
A Striking, Colorful Post- War Modern Studio Portrait of an African American Male Model by Notable Chicago Modern Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). Titled "Three Hours", the painting a is well executed, intimate figurative work by the artist, depicting a distinguished looking African American male model seated in colorful studio interior during a figure painting class, with a self portrait of the artist painting beside an easel and smoking a pipe in the background. The painting exemplifies the artist's adept, practiced skill at portraiture, and was likely completed in Evanston, Illinois, at the studio painting class held by the artist's longtime friend and colleague, Arnold Turtle. Artwork size: 18 x 14 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with the artist's original hand-painted strip frame (framed size: 18 1/2 x 14 1/2 inches). Signed "Walter Burt Adams" and dated 1971 center left; signed, titled and dated on the reverse. 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...
