Curator Talk: Charles Burchfield
Wed, 2/27, 6:00 p.m.
American artist Charles Burchfield used the landscape of northeast Ohio to express universal emotions and moods. He experimented avidly with watercolor in both his hometown Salem and Cleveland, where he attended the Cleveland School (now Institute) of Art. Learn about the period described as his “golden year” and the abstract style that defined his work from Britany Salsbury, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings .
Color and Comfort: Swedish Modern Design
OPEN NOW
This exhibition explores the introduction of bold, colorful patterning during the 1920s, the national nostalgia for Swedish cultural heritage during the 1930s, and the sparse lines of abstraction in the 1950s and ’60s which come together to reveal a particularly Swedish sensibility in modern design — one that has often been used to define a broader modern Scandinavian style.
