Exalted Nature: The Real and Fantastic World of Charles Burchfield

The beautifully illustrated, 132-page catalog contains essays by both Nancy Weekly, the world's leading authority on Charles Ephraim Burchfield (1893- 1967), and Audrey Lewis, the Brandywine's Associate Curator. Lewis traces the origins of modernism in Burchfield's work in comparison with American landscapists. Weekly researched the collegial relationship between Burchfield and Andrew Wyeth (1917- 2009), whose artistic family history is preserved and exhibited at the Brandywine River Museum of Art.
