FREE FOR GAGE MEMBERS. Painting exclusively in watercolor was unusual in the early 20th century, yet Burchfield chose that medium as his own, outright dismissing people who cautioned that the medium was too fragile to become a legacy. He also created a 'vocabulary' of shapes that represented moods, working them into his land and townscapes. This lecture will discuss what Burchfield, who struggled also with wanting to be a writer, may be visually 'telling' us.
