Emerson Burkhart - 'East Main at Champion' 24 x 30, oil on canvas, Signed lr, 'E Burkhart 69' Excellent Condition $8,950
Here is one of Burkhart's last larger street scenes painted just months
prior to his death in 1969. This was one of his favorite areas of town in
which to paint. Foot traffic and commerce are depicted here with the pizza
restaurant, Oakley Cleaners, and many pedestrians who are going about their
business. This outstanding example of his work is painted in a bright
palette and would be an excellent addition to any Burkhart collection.

Offered here is a large and delightful painting that captures the essence of

Lintner, is approaching him from the background. Burkhart leaves it up to
us to decide what will happen next. This is a unique painting with a
special narrative that dials in directly to the mood of the times.

Emerson Burkhart - 'Dirt Road at Hoover Dam' 1968, 18 x 24, oil on board, signed lower left, E Burkhart and verso, E. Burkhart 13 Oct. 68. Excellent condition $4,250
Burkhart loved painting in Delaware County, and especially at Hoover
Reservoir. He could be frequently found painting colorful autumn
landscapes, as this painting depicts. We have handled several of Burkhart's
autumn motif paintings. This is one of the most colorful examples we have
seen in recent years and it comes in one of his signature homemade frames.

Emerson Burkhart - 'Winter Landscape', 1944, 23 x 34, oil on canvas, signed lower right 'E. Burkhart 44'. Excellent condition $6,750
Burkhart did not invest much time painting during the winter months. He
typically spent time reading and 'recharging' his mind so that he could jump
fully into his painting once the weather improved. We have only seen four
works he painted during the winter and this is by far, the largest and best
executed of those we've seen.
