Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Street Scene, 1940-1947; watercolor on paper, 39 x 53 inches; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Art Association Purchase
Dream: at a picture show all of us. We chattered and laughed so much that we were finally evicted. When we were going up the street we discovered Arthur had picked up a fur coat of some other boy. We considered how to return it to its owner, fearful that our reappearance in the theatre would not be tolerated. Eventually I find myself pushing a wheelbarrow with the coat in it towards the theatre. Bertha, trying to help walked alongside pushing down on one of the handles. Turning to her I said savagely “Will you stop that?” – and awoke.
Charles E. Burchfield, January 2, 1939
