Pottery
Tapestry
gouache drawings
5 x 10 1/2 and 4 x 10 inches.
these two drawings of “woman’s work” were evidently studies for frescos above an arch of an unknown building, possibly in her native St. Louis. Burlingame studied at the Art Institute of Chicao and Art Students League of NY. She was a member of the St. Louis Artists’ Guld. Much of her sculpture is in St. Louis. Our two drawings suggest Puvis de Chavannes, but have a Modernist’s use of color. |
