Charles Burchfield was an artist in love with the sights and sounds of nature from as far back into his childhood as he could remember. Most children find pleasure, as he did, basking in the freedom and charms of the outdoors but, for Burchfield, the love affair with nature never diminished. Out of his intense feelings there welled up "an inexplicable desire to do something - to run outdoors and embrace all these sights and sounds, and become a part of them," as he so passionately confided to his journal when he was seventeen years old. He did, indeed, "become a part of them," a part of the sights and sounds of nature through his art. VG .
