Sydney Richmond Burleigh: Artist of Multiple Skills in Rhode Island
Sydney Richmond Burleigh, the only surviving son of George and Ruth Burgess Burleigh, became a major regional artist in Rhode Island. He played a role in the formative history of the Providence Art Club and the Rhode Island School of Design. During World War I he produced posters for recruitment and support of the armed forces. Much of his life is well-documented, so this section will certainly grow and expand. In the meantime, enjoy this small gallery.
