Charles Burchfield


The work above is "Rainy Night," a watercolor painting by Charles Burchfield that was done in 1930. Watercolor, as noted in the textbook, is a very expressive medium. Burchfield used this medium to depict average, small town happenings and industrialization during the Regionalist movement. Spending most of his time in the "Rust Belt," he incorporated the things he saw around him into his works.
