Burr Singer

Bernice Lee ("Burr") Singer (1912–1992) was an American artist, who worked in Social Realism subject matter, principally in watercolor, oil paint, and lithography.[1][2] She is noted as a painter of African Americans, who "spent the entire 1930s painting African-Americans because she said that nobody was painting them realistically. Everything else was stereotypical, caricatures."[3] She was born in St. Louis, Missouri and died in Los Angeles, California.
