Virgil Burnett
illustrator, publisher, sculptor, writer
Canadian, b. USA, (1928–2012)
Virgil Burnett received a BA in Fine Arts from Columbia University, New York, before being drafted into the Korean War. After completing his military service, he earned an MA in Art History from the University of California at Berkeley. In 1956, he went to France on a Fulbright Fellowship and stayed there until 1961, working with master printer Maurice Darantière, who is known for typesetting James Joyce’s "Ulysses" (1922). Darantière's influence sparked in Burnett an enduring interest in the book arts and, in the 1960s, he founded Pasdeloup Press, which published its first book ("Le Roi S'amuse" by Virgil Burnett) in 1966. In 1972, Burnett emigrated to Canada, settling in Stratford, Ontario, and became Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo, Ontario where he taught until retirement in 1992. In the years following retirement, Burnett explored an interest in sculpture, choosing to sculpt in terra cotta clay.
