Events Schedule » Visual Music: Paintings by Burton Kramer

Visual Music is an exhibition of paintings by graphic designer and painter Burton Kramer. As a designer, Kramer's clients include the Royal Ontario Museum, Reed Paper, the Eaton Centre (Toronto's most famous urban mall), and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

A modernist, Kramer's paintings pay homage to his teacher Josef Albers. "For me, painting is music.  Just as music is governed by its own compositional rules and rarely references a literal story line, painting should also enjoy the same absolute dissociation from the familiar, representational world".

The University Gallery and vignelli Center for Design Studies are sponsoring an exhibition of paintings by legendary graphic designer Burton Kramer.
