About the artist4
Paul Wilhelm Burman sündis 28. veebruar 1888 Ukrainas.
Oli baltisaksa päritolu Eesti maalikunstnik ja graafik, Karl Burman vanema vend. Aastal 1892 kolis pere Tallinnasse, kus Paul Burman õppis Peetri Reaalkoolis. Hiljem õppis ta Ants Laikmaa ateljeekoolis ja Peterburi Kunstide Akadeemias. Täiendas ennast Moskvas Stroganovi kunstikoolis, Riia linna kunstikoolis ja Pariisis Académie Russe'is. 1912 - 1913 elas Pariisis eesti kunstnike koloonias ning suhtles aktiivselt Jaan Koorti, Nikolai Triigi ja Aleksander Tassaga. Aastal 1914 viibis Krimmis ja Saksamaal, 1915. aastast vabakunstnik Tallinnas. 1918. aastast kuni surmani elas ta Seevaldis.

Loomingu algperioodil maalis ja joonistas peamiselt looma- ja looduspilte, maastikuvaateid. Kujutuslaadilt on tema linna-, lille- ja maastikupildid maalilised, koloriidilt heledad, vaheldusrikkad. Teda on peetud üheks Eesti esimeseks impressionistiks. Hilisem looming oli rahutum, tööd väljendusjõulised. Peale näituste Eestis esines ta ka näitustel Moskvas, Pariisis, Roomas jm.
Suri 3. juuni 1934 Tallinnas.
