Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Street Vista in Winter, 1957-60; watercolor on paper, 26 1/4 x 43 3/4 inches; Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, Kalamazoo, Michigan
A grey day – the atmosphere carry sounds wonderfully – trains seem roaring in the depths of the earth on all sides. The snow is softened, the distance a milky blue – at late afternoon the sun was a dim glow in the west.
