Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, 768 pages. The personal journals of Charles Burchfield reveal the unique vision and approach to life that established him as America?s preeminent watercolorist and painter of nature. When he died in 1967 at the age of seventy-three, Burchfield had filled sixty-seven bound notebooks with his personal entries, comprising some 10,000 pages. He included sketches, doodles, quotations, clippings, weather notes, and other marginalia and insertions offering a rare glimpse into the artist?s life. Presented here in book form, the edited journals are organized thematically. The editor?s introductions place each section in biographical and art historial context. The material is annotated and informed by the previously unpublished archives of the Burchfield Art Center, and complemented by 41 color plates of Burchfield?s paintings and 131 black and white illustrations. Due to size and weight, This is a heavy and oversized book and will require extra shipping. International customers please ask for a shipping quote before purchasing. Record # 361130.…
