What a vibrant, fun interpretation of African Americans going about their daily business. Mt. Vernon Avenue was the focal point of commerce, art, and music for the Black community during the 1940s and ’50s. Exhibited at the Emerson Burkhart Retrospective Exhibition, 1970, at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts (now the Columbus Museum of Art), catalog #87. Very good condition.

Emerson Burkhart – 'Tilled Farm Field'
1943, oil on canvas, 30 x 36, signed lower right, “Emerson C. Burkhart”.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Although farms and landscapes were a staple of Burkhart’s work, this is an interesting example of the field, although the most prominent feature in the painting takes a back stage to the small farming community tucked behind the trees along the horizon. Burkhart invested 16 sessions, as noted by the hash marks he painted on the back of the canvas. It is also inscribed in pencil, August 1, 1943. The work is unframed and has light cracking throughout the upper half of the painting. The paint is stable and there are no losses; however, the work is in need of cleaning.
