One of the most original artists of the twentieth century, Charles Burchfield (1893-1967), is featured in DC Moore's project space. Burchfield's intensely personal, often spiritualized, engagement with landscape is evident in the choice selection of watercolors in this focused exhibition.
"I feel impelled to embrace the earth," he wrote in his journals in 1932. On another day spent in the woods and fields, he found that, "My spirit was in complete harmony with the world of nature and absorbed every sight and sound with a completeness that has not been my lot for many a month." Burchfield's more expressive paintings, primarily done at the beginning and then again during final period of his long career, reveal two complementary sides of his artistic personality - from exuberant views of energized, sunlit fields and atmospheric skies to more introspective meditations on the profound depths of nature.Videos
