Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Whirling Leaves in a Black Hollow, 1960; watercolor on paper, 38 x 29 1/2 inches; Private Collection, Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
A mysterious dark day – with a raw damp wind straight from the north – Finish work on the Hollows picture- The deeper I get into “The Journal of a Disappointed Man” the more tragic it becomes, more heart-rending – It almost seems indecent to watch a man suffer as he did.
