Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), 999 (Circus Poster), 1917; Watercolor and gouache on paper, 20 x 14; Private Collection
White sun, jagged sky, frozen ground high wind from cold North — in white intense sunlight, sunlit places are vivid gold white in character, the local color almost vanished while shadows are harsh & deep blue black almost colorless –
Charles Burchfield, April 9, 1917
