Paul Burman 1888–1934 Lilled. 1934

How to define “a wild gift”? There exist artists, who for instance have good drawing skills and who are able to also perfect it in the course of studies and become really professional artists. Besides them also exist talents, who are not bent by studies and whose creation never becomes very “brilliant” or “elaborate”. Paul Burman, who switched study places and regarded the detailed depiction of a motif especially boring, is definitely the representative of the latter talent type. And such type also requires the according manner of art. For his is more suitable such style, in case of which to be impetuous, alert, where one should not have to concentrate on details, but could do things with just one breath. The lush form and bountiful beauty of the flowers exactly suited Paul Burman’s disposition. What would be the result? Definitely wild.
