Burchfield hit the ground galloping as a 20 year old kid with a style that combines early Mondrian and Van Gogh. He lost his touch in mid life, and then impressively pulled it together to make great pictures again in his 50s and 60s.
The first and last rooms of the exhibit are total stunners with one knockout piece after another.
Plus the notes on the pieces are extremely well done.
If I hadn't seen "curated by Robert Gober" I never would have went and Mrs. A and I loved it.
In fact, for the first time ever, she took longer viewing the exhibit than I did!
