Charles E. Burchfield: A Lifetime of Themes
Collaborator and friend Nancy Weekly curated an exhibition that celebrates Charles Burchfield’s work in unexpected ways, a lifetime of paintings and drawings connected by recurring themes. Together, we created this 160-page large format publication to poetically convey this vision—a book that emerges as more than an exhibition catalogue. It’s an enduring reflection of the experience of moving through the gallery, standing inspired in front of each work of art.
Glimpse inside.
The generous scale and richly reproduced color plates of A Lifetime of Themes present Burchfield’s work with depth and clarity… Thoughtfully selected papers echo the aesthetics of the original watercolor paintings and drawings… A vertical bellyband and smyth-sewn perfect binding creatively combine form and function… Immersive full-spread detail images, energetic chapter introductions, and brand-aligned design decisions serve scholarship and storytelling throughout the book.
