The original painted frame, heavily distressed to bare wood and brick red beneath, is as much a part of the object as the painting itself. Burg had a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esolo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943, and his work is held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good; age-appropriate wear to frame consistent with its character.
