Charles Burchfield watercolors at DC Moore Gallery


I went down to the city to see the Charles Burchfield watercolors at the DC Moore Gallery on 5th Avenue. I've admired his work for years, but never saw any in person. Amazing work, larger than expected with the artists' hand seen in the pencil and charcoal lines. The gallery was a little hard to find, but turned out to be a nice friendly place to visit. From there, I headed downtown to the Morgan Library and Museum for the 'New at the Morgan: Acquisitions Since 2004' show. Another place I've been trying to get to in NYC. An excellent show in a really nice venue - no photography though. The library itself is an awesome piece of work - thanks Mr Morgan. Check out this review from the NY Times.
