Charles Burchfield at the WHITNEY Curated by Robert Gober

[iheartcheesenbeer33]

James - i like that you're able to really bring out the most interesting part of each painting/piece... which is the painter. i like your analysis of the painter through the scope of the painting.. very nice perspective.

Fascinating. I think Burchfield worked as wallpaper designer early on. Also was very involved with listening to bird calls,insect sounds and the sound of wind in telephone wires. Also writing down his dreams etc(.You can read about all of this in his journals...). One of our most inventive painters.Thanks for this video Mr. Kalm.

Today after seeing this the second time and seeing the front piece on this video, I had a deep impression that his work is connected to El Greco despite the fact that Burchfield doesn't elongate like El Greco but that spiritual experience is there...

[jameskalm]

@bobwilsonray El Greco, along with Grünewald are sighted as major influences of the German Expressionists. Though Burchfield wasn't German, he was a contemporary and I think shared many of the Expressionists sympathies about distortion, look at Munch or Meidner.
