Singer, Burr

(Bernice)"Loading on the Levee" (1938)

Work/paper

Drawing, Charcoal 5/16/2011

Singer (1912-1992) was born in St. Louis, but

moved to Los Angeles in 1939.She also studied at

the Art Student's League and worked in Taos.

She became a popular and very well-known water-

colorist in S. Calif. Selected as part of the Missouri

collection for the New York World's Fair of 1939

and included in theArtists for Victory Exhibition at

the N.Y. Metro. Art Museum in 1942. Much of her

early work depicted African-American imagery, and

the plight of the African -American community, and

(perhaps for this reason) she is sometimes referred

to as an African -American artist. Sources that B.

Feldacker contacted (see research material) who

knew Singer or were close to her confirmed that

this was erroneous. Note: this drawing appears to

be a study for a painting of basically the same

waterfront scene done the same year. Ivey-Selkirk

Auction House confirmed that the drawing was on

consignment from an L.A. gallery which may have

represented Burr's estate. It is possible she

retained this drawing from St. Louis when she

moved west.

Louis Post Office on Market St. in 1942, depicting

the History of Missouri. This project bid price was

the largest commission paid by the Treasury

Section of Fine Arts for a post office mural. Siporin

went on to become the first Chair of the Fine Arts

Department at Brandeis University.
