"Burlesque Girl" is a notable painting by the American artist Walt Kuhn, created in 1938. Kuhn, a key figure in the development of American modernism, is renowned for his vivid and often stark portrayals of performers, particularly those from the circus and vaudeville circuits. This painting is a quintessential example of his ability to capture the raw and unembellished essence of his subjects.

The work depicts a burlesque performer, seated and gazing directly at the viewer. The subject's expression is one of weary introspection, a stark contrast to the lively and often exaggerated personas typically associated with burlesque entertainment. Kuhn's use of bold, unmodulated colors and simplified forms emphasizes the emotional depth and humanity of the performer, stripping away the glamour to reveal a more poignant and intimate portrayal.

"Burlesque Girl" is characterized by its strong composition and the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The background is minimalistic, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on the subject. Kuhn's brushwork is deliberate and confident, contributing to the overall sense of realism and immediacy. The painting reflects Kuhn's fascination with the lives of performers and his commitment to presenting them with dignity and respect.

This painting is part of a larger body of work by Kuhn that explores the world of entertainment and its inhabitants. His interest in this subject matter was partly influenced by his involvement in organizing the landmark 1913 Armory Show, which introduced American audiences to European avant-garde art and helped to shape Kuhn's own artistic direction.

"Burlesque Girl" is held in high regard within the art community and is considered an important piece within Kuhn's oeuvre. It is housed in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its powerful depiction of the human condition.
