Using books from the local library, Burchfield identified and documented these plants along with the location where he found them. These sketches, which to a large extent predate the artist's journals, are an important document of Burchfield's early fascination with the natural world.The exhibition Burchfield Botanicals will feature Burchfield masterworks, paired with these botanical sketches and objects from the Marchand Wildflower Collection at the Buffalo Museum of Science.

Book Synopsis Charles Burchfield by : Charles Burchfield
Download or read book Charles Burchfield written by Charles Burchfield and published by DC Moore Gallery, New York. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) was an innovative visionary of American modernism, a watercolor painter who infused his landscapes of upstate New York and Ohio and scenes of small town industrialization with pulsing line and crackling, fluid color. He was also an accomplished writer who kept extensive journals and published several important essays during his lifetime. Burchfield's early watercolors were often strongly expressionistic, projecting a buoyant spirituality; he reached a critical juncture around 1920, when he turned to modernist pictorial strategies to express a severe geometry of houses, factories and barren trees, with skies traversed by stylized smoke. After moving to Buffalo in 1921, he became a founder of the Regionalist movement, but he returned to the dynamic expressionism of his youth in the 1940s; as he told a friend, "It is not that I am trying to escape real life, but that the realm of fantasy offers the true solution of truly evaluating an experience." Published for DC Moore Gallery's survey exhibition (and coinciding with the Whitney Museum's 2010 retrospective), this volume presents a career-wide selection of watercolors and drawings, many of which are drawn from private collections, and have never or very rarely been exhibited. The images are complemented by four autobiographical essays, spanning the years 1928 to 1965, which provide an intriguing window into the artist's complex personality. All are out of print and difficult to locate, making this catalogue an important reference source as well as a visually striking presentation of his work.
Book Synopsis Conflicted American Landscapes by : David E. Nye
Download or read book Conflicted American Landscapes written by David E. Nye and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How conflicting ideas of nature threaten to fracture America's identity. Amber waves of grain, purple mountain majesties: American invest much of their national identity in sites of natural beauty. And yet American lands today are torn by conflicts over science, religion, identity, and politics. Creationists believe that the Biblical flood carved landscapes less than 10,000 years ago; environmentalists protest pipelines; Western states argue that the federal government's land policies throttle free enterprise; Native Americans demand protection for sacred sites. In this book, David Nye looks at Americans' irreconcilably conflicting ideas about nature. A landscape is conflicted when different groups have different uses for the same location—for example, when some want to open mining sites that others want to preserve or when suburban development impinges on agriculture. Some landscapes are so degraded from careless use that they become toxic “anti-landscapes.” Nye traces these conflicts to clashing conceptions of nature—ranging from pastoral to Native American to military–industrial—that cannot be averaged into a compromise. Nye argues that today’s environmental crisis is rooted in these conflicting ideas about land. Depending on your politics, global warming is either an inconvenient truth or fake news. America’s contradictory conceptions of nature are at the heart of a broken national consensus.

Book Synopsis Charles E. Burchfield by : Nancy Weekly
Download or read book Charles E. Burchfield written by Nancy Weekly and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-06-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates and accompanies a major touring exhibit that commemorates the centennial of Burchfield's birth. Opening in June 1993 at the Drawing Center in New York City, this is the first exhibition organized specifically to probe the underlying visionary themes, pantheistic philosophy, and religious symbolism in the art of this foremost American watercolorist. The exhibit will also accompany the first national symposium on Burchfield's role in 20th century art, also being held in New York City in the summer of 1993. Curator Nancy Weekly of the Burchfield Art Center in Buffalo is both curator for the exhibition and author of the text for this book. The works she has selected for both the book and the exhibit survey Burchfield's development of a metaphorical landscape whose iconography can be read as pantheist and transcendental. Burchfield's visionary works show nature reflecting the gamut of human emotions, memory, and his personal quest for spiritual resolution. Until now, Charles Burchfield has been appreciated as an important and rather unique American artist. He has not easily fit into the art historical niches that others have carved out for him. With THE SACRED WOODS, the Burchfield Art Center reveals a comprehensive understanding of the philosophies that shaped Burchfield's vision, as well as the methods and iconography that he used to articulate his own sense of the sublime.

Book Synopsis The Prints of Emil Ganso by : Donald E. Smith
Download or read book The Prints of Emil Ganso written by Donald E. Smith and published by Fairleigh Dickinson University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Prints of Emil Ganso fills the serious need for documentation of the prints of a remarkable artist who made a major contribution to printmaking in America." "Ganso left no records and was haphazard in titling his prints, giving edition sizes, and signing his work. He used the same titles over and over, and often gave an image more than one title - in several cases as many as four different titles." "As a consequence, the compiling of information on Ganso's prints resembled the production of a mosaic. Information was gathered from the inscriptions on Ganso's prints in public and private collections, accession cards and records in museums, files of clippings in libraries, gallery sales lists, museum exhibition lists, articles in old art journals, books on printmaking, and the artist's correspondence. Except for a few that cannot be located, each print is reproduced in this catalog. Details are given on titles, media, years, dimensions, and edition sizes, as well as other relevant information. A biographic sketch traces Ganso's life from a village in Germany to a faculty post at a leading American university."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
