Note
In 1917, Charles Burchfield made more than two hundred paintings and developed important themes within his work that he would carry forward.[1] He said, “I have always believed 1917 to be the ‘golden year’ of my career. Forgotten were the frustrations and the longing for more freedom. The big city was not for me. I was back home in the town and countryside where I had grown up, which were now transformed by the magic of an awakened art outlook.”[2]
