Charles Burchfield 1920: The Architecture of Painting, by Michael Hall, 1st Ed

About the Item

Charles Burchfield 1920: The Architecture of Painting, by Michael Hall. DC Moore Gallery, NY, 2009. 1st Ed hardcover, no dust jacket as published. Published for an exhibition at Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio, from May 22-August 2, and to the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, New York, from August 29-November 29, 2009. One of the great American Modernist artists, Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) is often associated with the romantic nature fantasies he produced in his later years, but his earliest paintings with Modernism are often overlooked. In this book the importance of this phase is examined for the first time. Assembling a tight group of Burchfield's watercolors, it highlights works executed between 1918 and 1920, which depict the stark houses and industrial landscapes of Burchfield's Salem, Ohio. These watercolors employ certain hallmarks of Modernist pictorial strategy, such as flattened space, reductive simplicity and industrial themes, but without the crisp Precisionism of a Demuth or a Sheeler they convey Burchfield's simultaneous engagement with Folk Art and Expressionism. By positioning this period as integral to (rather than anomalous within) the trajectory of Burchfield's career, the insights of authors Michael Hall, Nannette Maciejunes and Karli Wurzelbacher here provide a richer understanding of Burchfield's art. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
