Heat Waves in a Swamp
The Paintings of Charles Burchfield
Working almost exclusively in watercolor, Charles Burchfield (1893 -1967) focused on his immediate sorroundings - his garden, the views from his windows, snow turning to slush, sudden atmosperic changes, or the forest at dusk. He often imbued these subjects with highly expressionistic light, creating at times a clear-exed description of the world and at other times, a unique mystical and visionary experience of nature. The book includes drawings from his 1917 sketchbook, "Conventions for Abstract Thoughts"; watercolors from 1916-18 that were the focus of the first one-person exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1930; camouflage designs from his tour in the army and wallpaper designs from the 1920s; watercolors from the 1940s showing the artist's unique technique of expanding and reworking earlier works by pasting large strips of paper around them to dramatically increase their size; and finally Burchfield's large, transcendental watercolors from the 1950s and 1960s.
This book accompanies an exhibition curated by Robert Gober and organzied by the Hammer Museum in collaboration with the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo State College.
