Whitney Museum

The Whitney Museum was quite an amazing exhibit. The art of Burchfield showed a gradual improvement and how he really appreciated his conventions that he first developed in his early ages.  At the beginning of his life, he has developed a hatred and dark side which he vividly portrayed in his art. As he grew in the industrializing society, he had to adjust his art for the purpose of surviving the poverty that might plague his family. And so he did drawings that he didn’t really appreciated. As he grows into his older ages, he moves back to painting pictures that he enjoyed, the paintings that so brightly enlightened the exhibit itself. His later year paintings weren’t so “dark” and emotional, but rather joyful. He has through experiences in life, found the light that brings a smile, rather than a frown, to his face.
