ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hans Burkhardt

Hans Burkhardt was an artist who liked to draw and paint pictures. He was really good at it and his pictures looked very interesting to people who like art. He lived a long time ago and he was born in Switzerland. That's a country where people speak a different language than we do. When he grew up, he moved to America and lived in a place called Los Angeles. That's a big city where lots of people live.

Hans Burkhardt's pictures were very different from other people's pictures because he liked to use lots of colors and shapes. Sometimes his pictures looked like they were swirling around or moving. He would use paintbrushes to paint the colors on the canvas and sometimes he would even use his fingers to make the shapes.

People liked his pictures so much that they started buying them and putting them in their houses or in museums. That's where lots of people can go and see them all together. Even though Hans Burkhardt is not alive anymore, people still like to look at his pictures and learn about him because he was a very good artist.
