Walk through the Exalted Nature exhibition with Associate Curator Amanda C. Burdan as she discusses Charles Burchfield's painted representations of non-visual aspects of the landscape. Just as Burchfield "saw" the sounds of nature, we can "listen" to his watercolors.

"Charles Burchfield: The Artist as Composer" Piano concert
Sundays, October 19, 2 p.m. and November 9, 2 p.m.
Charles Burchfield immersed himself in classical music, often listening in his studio and responding to personally resonant pieces in his paintings. Expressing sound visually was important to the artist; in 1915 he wrote, "It seems at times I should be a composer of sounds, not only of rhythms and colors. Walking under the trees, I felt as if the color made sound." Steinway Artist Catherine Marie Charlton will play a selection of works by composers specifically mentioned by Burchfield in his journals: Beethoven, Haydn, Brahms and Sibelius.
Included in museum admission; Brandywine members free
