Charles Burchfield, Works on Paper

Oct 5, 2001–Jan 26, 2002

A vibrant expressionist painting depicting a garden scene with a yellow flowering bush in the foreground, surrounded by various plants in bold colors. The background features a dark, wavy hill with a house to the right, its roof and chimney just visible. A black fence with open slats stands to the right, contrasting with the bright garden. The brushstrokes are loose and dynamic, adding to the painting's lively atmosphere.
