How I despise the Americans who prefer 18th century French landscapes to healthy American 20th century scenes...The firm that I work for [is] contemplating a literal copy of a French landscape wallpaper--a venture that requires that I go to New York and copy the color scheme.
Charles Burchfield, November 8, 1925
