Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Birth of Spring (Rebirth of Spring), 1951-59; watercolor on paper, 26 x 40 inches; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
Last night to lecture on Theatre and “New Movement” in scenery. Convincing – some of the settings like music. Today a vigorous one – windy clouds out of cool north west – deep blue sky; hot sunshine – In the late sunshine my mind is at content – nothing but success & happiness seem ahead of me – How short will this state of mind be!
