A friend has acquired a painting signed "Burkland". It appears to be an oil painting of a fall/winter scene in a park (perhaps Central Park). We are assuming that the painter may be August P. Burkland, born Sweden October 18, 1879, and died Pasadena April 1927. He is most famous for scenes of the American Southwest; however, we understand from the limited information we have found that he was living and working in New York city at some point in his life. We are looking for more information about him and have exhausted the resources of the local San Jose State University/ML King Jr. library art reference books. Please let us know where to find additional information. Thanx!
