Artist Burton Morris (born 1964) is an American Pop Artist best known for his bold, graphic pop art paintings and depictions of various modern icons. His subject matter includes everyday objects that portray today's popular culture. His distinctive style is characterized by radiant outlines and vivid colors in all of his art. Burton Morris was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1964. He earned his bachelor of fine arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University in 1986.[1] After graduation, Burton started a career as an Art Director in Advertising. He established the Burton Morris Studios in 1990. In 1992, Absolut Vodka selected his artwork to represent Pennsylvania for its prestigious Absolut Statehood campaign. During that same year, his paintings began to hang on the hit NBC television sitcom "Friends", which continued to showcase his artwork for ten seasons.[2] In 2004 he was selected to create the signature image for the 76th Academy Awards.[3] The artwork enlivened the facade of the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, CA and was seen by over one billion people worldwide. Over the years, Morris has created signature artwork for the United States Olympic Team, the 2006 MLB All-Star Game, the 38th Montreux Jazz Festival, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and the 2016 U.S. Open ( golf ) to name a few. Original artworks have been commissioned for corporations and institutions such as H.J.Heinz Corporation,[4] Chanel, Perrier, Rolex, Kellogg's,[5] Ford, Coca-Cola[6] and AT&T. In addition, Burton's artwork has helped to raise millions of dollars for charities internationally.
