Whence upon a Burchfield...

Din Rumination

Din-Din Contemplation

Last weekend I went into the city to peep the Burchfields at the Whitney and hobnob with my homies. Burchfield was outta sight. A ton of watercolors are hanging, most of which are giant, many of which... gi-normous. 
Wholeheartily recommend you make your way there for a delightful show which includes everything from B's Yahtzee doodles and wall paper designs to his despondent, subconscious symbolism and poetic reflections. He really must of got under my skin as I began drawing immediately afterward and continued pretty much straight through dinner, conversation and cocktails afterward. Others got the bug too and the sketch eventually made its way into other hands and around the room. Above were some highlights...

  1. Burchfield kicks ass!! such a good show. he runs the gambit for angsty kid to full fledged fantastic tree man to the greatest wall paper maker ever. and i dig the response drawings... some nice beards in there, i love the drawing with the drawing of smokin. also dial-a-laugh and din rumination have great faces/ amalgamations of cups, glasses etc. you do burchfield proud.
