NotesCaroline C. Burnett (1877-1950) was a British-American artist known primarily for her Impressionist paintings of Paris street scenes. Burnett's work and painting style show the movement towards contemporary painting in Paris during her years there. Burnett's work had an abstracted influence, most noticeable in her figural representations. She was a member of the Societe de Beaux-Arts in Paris, exhibiting many of her works in the late 1890s and early 1900s. In her work, we can see each season and different types of weather in Paris, as well as numerous cultural heritage sites and everyday street scenes documenting the lives and activities of everyday people.
