Moon and Thunderhead
1960
Charles Burchfield is an amazing and absolutely unique painter, who developed a very singular style: often representing long periods of time (hours, days, seasons) within a single frame, expressing light and motion in symbolic rather than realistic fashion and, of course, turning to a child's vision of the world. Burchfield was highly admired during his lifetime, a period when abstraction was far more the mode; he was, most notably, revered by the equally talented painter
Edward Hopper. Was there and will there be anything really like him?
