New York City has 2 Charles Burchfield Exhibits
If you are currently in New York City, you should check out 2 excellent Charles Burchfield exhibitions. His dramatic watercolor meditations of the natural world rarely get to see the light of day, much less in such quantity. If you’re not familiar with his work, just Google his name and you will see why you need to see at least one of the exhibitions.
The exhibition at the Whitney , is a comprehensive exhibit that covers all stages of the artist’s career, form his first solo show at the Metro of Modern Art (MoMA) back in the 30s, to his time in the Army working in the camouflage unit, his day job designing wallpaper, and to his large scale, multi-sheet paintings that exude colorful changing of the seasons. ‘Moon and Thunderhead’, which contains a distinctively different visual perspective compared to his other work, takes us up above the wind-rustled canopy of trees to bask in the glory of a brooding cloud moving through an early evening sky.
On a smaller scale, but equally impressive, is Burchfield’s’ exhibit at the DC Moore Gallery, located on Fifth Avenue just south of Central Park not far from many of the finer New York City hotels . ‘Charles Burchfield: Fifty Years as a Painter’ will be on view till September 25, 2010.
