Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Setting Sun through the Catalpas (Late August Sunset), August 27, 1916; Watercolor and opaque watercolor with graphite on wove paper, 19 7/8 x 13 7/8 inches; Cleveland Museum of Art, Hinman B. Hurlbut Collection
Have just finished a new piece—a sunset in wind—sitting looking at it I wonder if I really knew I was doing it at the time—As I look I dream of the future—I see paintings before which people are so overcome they weep—
Charles Burchfield, May 24, 1915
