Charles E. Burchfield, letter to Dr. & Mrs. Theodor W. Braasch, December 12, 1960

Saturday, Dec 12, 2020

The time before a one-man show with me is always a period of vacuum so I decided to “clean” out the studio, sort out early drawings and mount them, mount early water-colors etc. etc….

The exhibition opens Jan. 3 & runs to Jan. 31.
The pictures (subject to minor changes are as follows –
1. LITTLE TREES DANCING – 1956 (30x40)
2. OLD HOUSE AND SPRUCE TREES – 1951-60 (45x54)
*3. MOON AND QUEENE (sic)-ANNE’S LACE – 1960 (45x35)
*4- WHIRLING LEAVES IN A BLACK HOLLOW – 1960 (38x30)
*5- SNOW-FLAKES IN OCTOBER – 1959 – (44x32)
*6- MIST PHANTOMS AT DAWN – 1960 – (33x40)
7- JULY DROUGHT SUN – 1949-60 (45x54)
8- SULTRY MOON – 1959 – (33x40)
9- THE FOUR SEASONS – 1949-60 – (56x48)
*- ones you have not seen at all.
… No. 6 of the list above is about as rambunctious as the “Storm at Sunset” and like-wise a memory of 1915 – I have many other 1915 ones I want to call upon, done in a 1961 manner of course!
