Burton Silverman
Burton Silverman is an American artist. He is considered one of America's most accomplished and important realist painters and illustrators. His draftsmanship, brushwork, composition, use of color, and tonality both owe a debt to and have continued the traditions and standards established by the great representationalist artists throughout history. In addition to illustrations featured in Time magazine, Sports Illustrated, and Esquire, famously, Silverman's watercolor paintings graced Jethro Tull's 1971 album, Aqualung. Beginning the early 1990s, Silverman focused on portraiture and refining his style.
