Paul Burlin
Paul Burlin (September 10, 1886 – March 13, 1969) was an American modern and abstract expressionist painter.
Paul Burlin was born to Jacob and Julia Berlin in 1886 in New York. The family name was originally Berlinsky. His father was from London. His mother from a small city in Northern Germany near the Polish border. Burlin grew up in New York City and London, the oldest of three children. His sister, Carrie, was born in 1890. His brother, David, in 1895.
From 1900 to 1912, Burlin was a part-time student at the National Academy of Art and the Art Student's League.
Burlin was able to travel in Europe in 1908 to 1909. He visited the Southwestern United States in 1910. The southwestern paintings he made on the trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico were shown in New York in 1911. The critical acclaim of this exhibition led to his invitation to participate in the Armory Show.
Burlin was invited to participate in the 1913 69th Regiment Armory Show in New York, the first Modern art exhibition in the United States. This was the exhibit that brought the work of the European vanguard, such as Picasso, Manet, Monet, and Degas to the United States.
Burlin moved to Santa Fe in 1913 and painted there until 1920, while exhibiting his work in New York City. He painted portraits of Pueblo Indians, landscapes, and scenes of local daily life. These themes sold well in New York. Burlin was heavily influenced by the spirituality of the Pueblo Indians. Realist works gave way to experimentation with symbols and anthropomorphism. His work was shown at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts exhibition in 1919.
Paul Burlin met Natalie Curtis (1875–1921), in 1914. Burlin married Natalie Curtis, in 1917. She was an ethnomusicologist working to preserve Native American Indian music in New Mexico. Natalie Curtis is best known for her 1907, "The Indians' Book".
Burlin and Natalie moved to Paris in 1921. Shortly after a presentation at a conference on ethnomusicology, Natalie was struck by a taxi on the street and killed. Paul was devastated. He remained in France. In 1924, he married his second wife, Margarete (Margot) Koop. Margarete was the mother of his only child, Barbara, who was born in 1927. Paul exhibited in New York, and in Paris. He studied European abstract painting styles, which influenced his increasingly socially concerned themes. His work was included in the New York Museum of Modern Art's Ninth Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture by Living Americans in 1930. Three of his paintings were shown: Flowers, 1927, Horses in Stable, ca. 1928, and Hills and Houses. Burlin was not able to attend, however, since he was still in Paris.
