Burke Art
This website presents the works of
John G. Burke.
Before World War II John spent three years studying drawing and painting
at the Portland School of Fine and Applied Arts, followed by one year at the National Academy of Design in NYC, supplemented
by classes with Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Arts Students League.
After the war, John returned to life as an art student studying with
Amedee Ozenfant at his School of Fine Arts in New York City. John married Maxine Lemon and proceeded to have a family of seven
so he made his way as a draftman.
During John's golden years he was able to pursue his real passion
for painting and creating works of art. John also enjoyed designing postcards & bookmarks. His
creative talents are also expressed in a collection of banners and drawings.
