Biography:
Charles Burchfield moved to Buffalo, New York in 1921 where he worked as wallpaper designer until 1929. At this point, he was able to devote himself to his artwork. His early work consisted mostly of nature scenes. Then in the 1920’s and 30’s, he became a leading exponent of the American Scene Painters, producing paintings that depicted small-town life. In the 1950’s, Burchfield began teaching at the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and the University of Buffalo.
